Well, originally it was set to 50 posts a day, which was way too low, and
he set it to 500, with the line 'I don't think you guys will go over 500',
or something to that effect.
And yes, it was mainly sarcastic..I don't think they'res been more than 100
posts yet, but still, Bull isn't online yet ;)

<sigh>

Gee, thanks Fro... C'mon, I don't post more than 50 a day...:) And even
with all the answers (say, an average of four each), that's only another
200... And Andrew said there had only been about 250 messages so far, so
that's...

Oh drek... I'll shuit up now...:):):):)
