Whatever you devise is a form of censorship and has no place in scientific discourse. If you search the archives you will find that I have mostly responded to other people's assertions. This newest attempt to gag me, is no exception. The reason I respond so much is that is such fertile ground. What you can't know is the number of lurkers I have pulled off the sidelines and who are responding to me privately.

No, the air-l list never was like that. Steve's software wasn't set for that either. i was always pretty much adamantly against doing something like this :) I still am, but now I don't make the arguments in regards to list management. I can see both sides of having limited numbers of posts, but I'd rather have those people who our enthusiastic be able to convey that, and learn when... enthusiasm goes a bit too far through gentle prodding, or more serious measures if it goes beyond enthusiasm.
Having been a listmom for quire some time, I think that in regards to list behavior, people should get appropriate hints, and when hints fail, they should be warned by list management and when warnings are insufficient, they should have a forced break, of 2 weeks where they can't post, and then if they continue after a 2 weeks break, then they should be removed. That would be what i would currently argue for.

I'm not sure (I dont remember if) if air was ever programmed for this or not - but I remember when I was running the postcolonial list - we configured it so that after three posts in a span of 24 hours - a member's post was automatically sent back.
