tcook: what a fascinating analogy.

I daresay that if everyone who reads these forums and did not speed sometime in the last three days posted now, there would be no more posts.

I went out for a fifteen minute errand earlier today and probably speeded four different times. The speed limit on my street is 25 mph, which NOBODY obeys, not even the postman or garbage truck.

The police only stop you for speeding if you are egregious, 15 or more mph over the limit or endangering.

When that is the case, I like your metaphor. That should be EXACTLY how moderators evaluate posters' performance ala the TOS.

As to dovster, I join the chorus that his participation is valued, whatever his sin was is minimal and erased, and ftomnibox is a troll.
