Re: [ga] waste of time

This is absurd, the time required to view all these postings is way too 
much. Furthermore, many of the postings are repetitive or irrelevant, or 
personal in nature. EVERYONE should be limited to 2 postings to a list per 
WEEK. This is more than sufficient. If they violate this rule 3 times they 
are prohibited from posting for a year.
