> I am also requesting that I be allowed here to post what I need to post if it means that more than 3 consecutive posts are needed by me to have dialog with you concerning your action in question here and the potential for a policy that could arrise from you allowing to stand the statement in question as being acceptable here with the preface {I believe} to it.
> Your rule concerning the prohibition of posting more than 3 consecutive posts is about [...more then 3 consecutive posts may discourage {less confident posters} from joining in...easier for them to help...].
> In regards to your rule, could not this discussion be between just me and you and those that are not in the catagory of being a {less confident} poster? If so, then the {less confdent poster} may not want to be a party to this discussion and thearfore might not your rule have the potential to not be applicable here in this discussion?~~~ I respectfully request Dr. Bob would not make exceptions to the three post guideline based on the discussion would be between Dr. Bob and one other poster. If a "private" one on one discussion is wanted and multiple postings are to serve in the one on one, I believe it should be done via emails as opposed to a board viewable and "open to all registered" for posting.
I have checked the archives and prior to the three post rule, just this Adm. board had several posts per viewable page with 13-15 consecutive followups by one poster. I believe not only does the three post rule aid more timid posters but also is a means to not fill up a viewable page with the questions, comments, diagraming, and breaking down of one issue in which that process has always made me feel annoyed and putdown. I think the three post rule works well to prevent one poster from "hogging" threads - which I consider uncivil.
