[Vision2020] election is over

[Scott Dredge]

Three post a day limit is fine with me.  I've been exceeding that dramatically in the last couple days and I promise the frequency of my posts will drop just as dramatically over the next few days.  I think most posters are OK with the 3 per day limit and yet Tom, Donovan, and No Weatherman will continue to flood the list with a lot of posts that I suspect most folks like me simply just neither have the time nor the interest level to even open.

> I agree in principle with your comments. The three post thing has its pros and cons. Some people do post to much. On the other side of the equation when a debate is going on, it is some time desirable to reply to a post even though you have already exceeded three.

I am glad to see Scott and Sue's response to that same post, (essentially, "let's move on, the election is over") but I am posting mine, anyway, because I thought it would be worthwhile to think about our cyber community here.]

Anything in the way of "localizing" the conversation and making it more substantive would be a real plus for this forum.
