Yes, I should update the welcome. 99 messages per day (where a day starts at midnight in New York, which is currently 0500 universal time), 5 messages per day per person. Yes, people, the value of N is currently five. It may change. John Cowan, Lord of the Instrumentality of Conlang -- John Cowan <jcowan@...> www.ccil.org/~cowan www.reutershealth.com Micropayment advocates mistakenly believe that efficient allocation of resources is the purpose of markets. Efficiency is a byproduct of market systems, not their goal. The reasons markets work are not because users have embraced efficiency but because markets are the best place to allow users to maximize their preferences, and very often their preferences are not for conservation of cheap resources. --Clay Shirkey
