Jimbo occasionally has weighed in and said a particular thread has gone
on long enough.
Also, when I ran the list, I would occasionally send "talkative" people
a private e-mail asking them to post less often. I mean, some people
would post 10+ times a day EVERY DAY, and it would get out of hand. Once
or twice, I actually put someone's posts into "hold for review"
purgatory.
But now with the database locked, there's nothing else to do but talk
about Wikipedia, so brace yourself for a flood.
