Regarding the post limiting being discussed in news:
I agree. LJ is a non-for-profit kind of thing. There are plenty of free users who use the service about 40x harder than I do, and I pay. However, 3 posts/day does seem a bit harsh to me. 4 or 5 is more reasonable. And I'm quite conflicted about the paid user limits. I mean, 20 posts is about 10 more than I could ever *dream* of doing (even with communities and such), but I don't like the idea that I'm getting limited in a service I paid for.

Anyways, back to physics. Oh, and zsparke, where art thou? I thought there was to be physicking. Anyways, I have to get *a*lot* more of this done before tomorrow, since I don't really feel like doing much of any of it between when I get out of modern and the due date at 1700 hrs.

Folding went well. 'Cept that codepoet and faboo both failed to show, or do their assignments. Naughty! Oh, and see if you guys can think of things for the Valentine's Day issue coming up next week.

I agree -- without a free user base nobody would get a paied account in the first place. The whole point of lj is that you use it to talk to your friends -- and if they're not on their (paied or free) than you won't use it
Honestly if they do limit it to three posts a day i think that i'll prolly stop using the service very much -- at least as far as posting my own stuff. I definitly post more than three entries a day on over 1/3 of the days i post.

I mean i read through some of the comments and it makes sense to cap people who are posting ridicuilous amouts of stuff a day -- and by ridiculous i don't mean 20 -- i mean more like above 30 or maybe 48(two an hour). It makes sense to cap people doing hundreds of posts a day(as some apparently are)

And i understand setting the free user cap lower -- but not that low -- and is it realy true that you lose post you send in if you're over the limit(like that girl was complaining about) -- that's just poor design

some people were discussing the possibility of a weekly limit, not daily.

sounded better to me
