I would like to take this opportunity to petition He of the Strange Powers
(who Stone--perhaps out of the mistaken belief that this refers to the
Deity--unkindly labeled a "she") to restore the 100-message limit. I would be
content with even a 75-message limit. That strikes me as reasonable, since I
believe the average is about 50. Once we start going over 50, it's a sure
sign that there is a lot of off-topic traffic.
