If there's a hard limit of 8 per day, it should be enforced by the
list software. Our time is too valuable to be spent counting
everyone's messages and bitching at them. I think the rules should be
more like guidelines, and another guideline should be that only list
admin(s) point out violations, and only in private.

Which averages well under 8/day.

Civilization doesn't require bean-counter nastiness.
