I don't know what DD's think, but as a common participant on Debian and other mailing lists, this is the worst suggestion I've seen for a list policy in a while. Limiting post counts doesn't reduce the number of transactions required to move a conversation forward by a given amount; it only artificially forces it to take longer, limits the amount any given person can contribute, and encourages people to merge posts that shouldn't be merged to reduce their post count, breaking threading and making conversations even harder to follow. -- Glenn Maynard
