> My feelings have been made clear in past posts and the a current situation. I have advocated for posting limits but truthfully, I would like to see individual situations addressed on a one to one basis by Dr. Bob. I understand while wanting that to happen, the rules must apply to all even if there is/are only one or a few who, uh, "need" the guideline. Therein lies the rub.

> I think there is certainly an issue of binge/excess posting that needs addressing - for the board's sake and for the sake of some poster(s). Being realistic, I do not believe anything will happen from an adm. standpoint. However, I do wish it would be explored as meeting the needs of the one(s) appears to be trumping the needs of others.Mc Comfortable,
You wrote,[...I understand while wanting that to happen,(posting limits) the rules must apply to all even if there is/are only one or a few who, uh,"need" the guidline. Thearin lies the rub...]and,[...meeting the needs of the one(s)appears to be trumping the needs of others...].
I am unsure as to what you are wanting to mean and if you could clarify the following, then I could have the opportunity to respond accordingly.
A. In,[...a few who, uh, "need" the guidline...] I am unsure as to if your use of quotes there is as what is known as{scare quotes} or not. If you could clarify that for me, then I could respond accordingly. for those that would like to know what scare quotes are, the merriam-webster defines scare quotes and I invite you to put {scare quotes} in their search box.
B. In,[...meeting the needs of one...to be trumping the needs of others...]
I am unsure as to what you are wanting to mean by what the {needs} are of the person(s) in question verses what you are wanting to mean by [...the needs of others...] and along with that as to how the one's need could cause the other's need to be trumped. If you could clarify by identifying what the {needs} are in your thinking, and then how the one could cause the other to be trumped in your thinking, then I could respond accordingly.
