Rather than restrict those with low counts from starting new threads, what about baseing it on length of membership. I don't post often simply because as you say so much has been covered, however I read, read, read. If I, a year later, have a question, I couldn't post it?? So rather, I spend a lot of board space entering time wasting replys just to get my count up?? Time of membership says a lot more than number of posts in many cases. Two cents from a person who loves flyer-talk, finds it invaluable but has no desire to waste your time with "filler posts." (although I just did one actually as I am close to being able to see coupon connection again (since the post limit was added)). I have been around two years and hate the now locked out postion I'm in even if I probably won't ever actually use the connection.
