Any questions? Comments? Complaints? You are obviously very unhappy with the thread to do this, FL. Since I don't read Scott, I don't give a damn, but I think you are going to get a lot of resentment over this exemption of the worst offender. The way I read this, I can paste a paragraph or two from an article, but not the article. The link reference is unclear. I read this to mean that a link counts the same as a posted article. If that is true, when I paste a paragraph, I won't paste a link. The smear campaign is great. As we get closer to the war, it is going to get even hotter. Overall? Other than the smears, I think the thread was fine as it was. This change is a mistake, IMO.

As of today, everyone is limited to two full-text articles per day. Speaking as an occasional poster but a constant lurker.... Thank you! I do my best to keep up with the thread but am frequently overwhelmed by the sheer number of articles. A little culling is a great idea....there cant be that many great articles written every day.

There are two exceptions: 1. Your moderator is exempt. 2. stockman_scott is limited to six articles a day (just because). Why not just limit stockman_scott to two article and leave everyone else alone. Nobody else even remotely comes close to exceeding scott's robo-posting of full text articles. Everyday I consider putting scott of ignore since I know that I will have to skip over through ten or more articles that I already know what they say. The only reason that I don't have him on ignore is that I like to read any replies or posts that he takes the time to write himself. I like to hear scott's own opinions but I can't stand all of the full-page articles that he posts. brians@ifonlysihadanignoreallfulltextarticles.by.scott

GREAT. So if I understand you fully, no one is allowed to more than two human shields per day!
