Because many of us couldn't handle it and would have to go nomail (me included. I already have a hard time handling the traffic when it's quiet).

But the problem is not during the periods of low traffic.

I actually am happy of those blockages. They allow me to breathe a little in those periods of high traffic.

For all those reasons above I disagree with the changing of the daily limit. I know how talkative we are, and we would eventually manage to block the list whatever daily limit we put in. But how many people would have left in between for lack of time to handle it? Christophe Grandsire. http://rainbow.conlang.free.fr You need a straight mind to invent a twisted conlang.
