Thought any new member was restricted to one message a day - posts or not. I get messages from brand new members who have never posted - most recent a few weeks ago.

That's not as easy as it sounds. I've been here 7 years and I still haven't made 10 really insightful comments.

Plan B:

Just post mutterings and mumbles like the rest of us. They count too, and that approach takes a lot of pressure off.

We asked a question about that a few weeks ago and never got a real answer.
We have 4000 but another member who have been a member for nearly two years only has 1000. Why the difference and what is the criteria?

mail box limits?

I have 4000 but as far as I am concerned Marka could put me down to 20 if he wanted.. (I would not ever use that much database space,its not respectful to the admin)

Same thing happened to me. I always used this site for informational purposes, so I will try to have more of a two-way dialogue from now on.
