["Steve Miller" <smille10 AT sbcglobal.net>]

I do not agree with this restriction unless it was limited to 2 replies PER 
THREAD
plus starting 1 new thread per day.

Otherwise I think I'll get less replies to my posts than currently.

A person may not be able to just send the post the next day because the next 
day there may be new stuff to that he wants to reply to.

Sincerely,

In the Lord do I trust.
How say ye to my soul,
“Flee as a bird to your mountain,
for wicked bend the bow."? (Ps11:1-2a)
