I believe the current server software allows up to 100 posts per day by each
list member. In addition to Vanagon-relevant posts, a list member's allotted
number of posts per day can include:

* one-word replies copied to everyone else on the list
* off-topic replies to off-topic posts (spawning even more off-topic replies)
* the inevitable "just have to have the last word on this technical thread"
posts
* political diatribes, rants, conspiracy theories, irrational belief systems,
soap box speeches, hurled invective, verbal rejoinders and banal chit-chat
* arcane, esoteric, or anal-retentive observations from those with obviously way
too much time on their hands
* answers to questions nobody asked
* questions to answers nobody understands

So please use your 100-post daily allotment wisely. Otherwise, our server will
need another software upgrade to cope with the increased traffic.

PS: The above is meant as a rather mediocre attempt at humor. No slights or
insults are intended, expressed or implied. And I made up the part about the
server allowing up to 100 posts per day by each list member. It's actually 150.
