With due respect to Barkley Rosser, I find the rule of two postings per thread unworkable. If the discussion is within the bounds of HET, conducted civilly and posts are not akin to dissertations, what happens when new ideas are introduced in the thread and the person has something to counter, or contribute?  I think we should rely on people's good sense to write as briefly as possible on relevant subjects.

	While many are identifying me with starting a blog, I too would prefer to see the current system continue, but with some kind of constraints/restraints, preferably voluntary by contributors, but if necessary imposed from above.  My specific suggestion was not more than two comments per thread, and I am now at that for this thread, so will say no more.
