It's hard to imagine anyone wanting to be on a second-class version of this
list.
I believe it was Benjamin Franklin who said "I'm sorry I wrote such a long
letter. Had I had more time, I would have written a shorter one." Rather
than restricting message length, however, I think this list could benefit
from a limit on the number of messages any individual can post on any given
day. Would three be sufficient? (Sorry, only one subject per message.)
I would at least try that before resorting to forced segregation.
