> To the best of my memory, Lou was never blocked for breaking the 3 post rule, and I think he worked very hard to follow it. His most recent block was for a different "rule of 3", which was about asking admin to review more than 3 posts by a specific poster after having been asked by Dr. Bob to find an alternate way to express his concern.I believe he took great care not to break that one too but he was banned anyway. I do not think any rules are necessary for bob to ban whoever he wants to. So I'm against all rules except please be civil. Viva la common sense!

> But about the 3 post rule. I think it's making more than 3 in a row on a thread that are not directly replying to different prior posts. I also think, but I'd have to search the archives, and I'm not willing to do that, that it's also starting more than three threads on one board in a row.
