So we should limit posting just for *YOU* then? Also, most people limit their message areas to about 500 or maybe 1000 messages.. I don't even see space being an issue.. Maybe having dialup is an issue but not the hard drive. Let me guess, you don't limit your message areas right? just for the sake of argument.
