For MANY people, our concept of limiting folks to 2 posts per day is contrary to assumptions about encouraging participation. BUT, we've always claimed and believed that while the two post per day does suppress the number of posts per individual it encourages a diversity of participation. In some ways, the idea that 111 DIFFERENT individuals posted to the Mpls Issues Forum in just three days is VERY IMPORTANT. That's 15% of the subscribed members that actually POSTED over the course of several days. I think that very few forums could boast that level of participation. And this is an open political forum thats over 8 years old. The more I think about this, the more noteworthy I find this story.
