For what it is worth, I would like to ask to have the 3 e-mail a day
limit rescinded.
The conversation threads on this list-serve are so interesting
(generally) that such an arbitrary rule serves only to interrupt the
flow.
The rule is not arbitrary (see below). I'd like to 'interrupt the
flow' only so that I - despite my busy schedule - could get a word in
edgewise.
Getting rid of that rule would be a great triumph of democracy...
How so? The rule (among other things) fosters a sort of equality:
those of us with less time to devote to phil-lit than others are not
left behind - or out - by those with a more generous share of
resources. Leaving members out of discussion is surely not very
democratic, is it?
But I see that the issue is of little or no concern to other members,
so will not harp on it, but remain watching (or rather, listening) from
the sidelines until perhaps I have enough time and energy to
participate in the conversation at the pace at which it flows without a
three-postings-a-day limit.
