Internals is the electronic equivalent of a discussion panel, it always has been. Artificially limiting the number of messages a person can send has no place here, as long as they're on topic. Sure, if the person finds themselves saying the exact same thing again and again - then it's probably not very productive (but still, not disrespectful in any way); But more often than not, it's about different aspects of the topic, or replies to different feedback coming from different people over the source of the day - and there's absolutely nothing wrong with the same person replying to many of them. We should always take time to think about you response, take time when > writing the response and take time to read it again before sending it. > IMHO, This shows that you care for the discussion and community.
