As I have posts to burn, and less than a day to do it ... ;-)

Attaching a "cost" to each email helps me as a reader.  I *want* to
read every email in every thread, and understand the people who send
them.

Since the limit has been imposed, I have found that I am paying more
attention to the emails, esp. to emails from people like Anthony who
previously sent a lot of emails that I would scan past without really
reading.

As a result, I have found Anthony's input to be very valuable over the
last month.

I think the limit of 30 posts per month is spot on.
