[arin-discuss] Restricting postings to one per day and three per week

Sorry, but you are wrong. The only open membership forum that
I am currently aware of is the stuff that ARIN mails out
(using postal mail) prior to a members meeting.

Lots of members do not have representatives subscribed to
this list. A while back, ARIN staff made some kind of offer
to members to join the list but when some traffic appeared
on the list there was a flurry of attempts to unsubscribe
because many of these member reps simply were not prepared
for, or do not have the time for, a free for all discussion.

So while ARIN-DISCUSS may be an open forum, in the free-for-all
sense, I don't consider it to be a membership forum because
posting here does not reach all members.
