    New one here from Holland.

    At first I would like to say I am glad to become a member finaly!

    and I think it's a good idea to have us wait for a while before we can post as much as we want to.

    In that way only the ones who realy are interested stay.. And 10 posts a day is not that bad...

    By the way: do you know if there are more here from holland?

    It's really all about limiting the damage that people can do and stopping the knee-jerk actions that occurred sometimes.

    So, the delay in registration approval, the approval itself and the initial posting limitations are all designed to limit the impact that someone can have on the site if they are malicious and make it a lot harder for them to cause any trouble (so basically, not make it worth the effort).

    After a period of time or number of posts then limits for new people will be removed.

    I used to make a list because there were so many ideas in my head

    Generally, I refuse to post something for someone else. The exceptions would only be if the post is important enough (a conference call, for instance), and the poster is having ongoing technical difficulties preventing them from posting it themselves. But, just to get around a poster limit, I usually refuse (and especially if I do not like the post itself--I do not post spam posts for others).

    Haha Lurk3r... nice change of topic..

    Yeah I remember one night at the bookstudy, there was this pause in the prayer and one of the teenage boys let rip with an almighty fart... The whole room was shaking with laughter and the brother giving the prayer was trying desperately not to laugh.... ahhhh
