You intended to limit my response to the matter of posting limits?  You 
should have said so.  It is very difficult to elicit a specific response 
when you ask very general questions.

As to the specific topic of managing a posting limit, what part of:

did you not understand?

Or we might consider limiting postings that are personally abusive.  You 
probably would not like that very much.  Better still would be to limit 
postings that are nothing but game-playing baiting.
