And this is actually a fairly good idea.

On some Usenet newsgroups, I hold myself to at most an article a week,
due to the probability of threads accelerating out of control.

The TLUG list has historically spun "out of control" when people have
started posting continuous responses to one another.  A couple hours of
that and people come home with the irritating result of 75
back-and-forth flames.

It's pretty useful to keep traffic down to a dull roar by NOT sending 10
messages out each day...
