Indeed, I was directing traffic to the history of Godel and Hilbert, so
more effort could be devoted to being more informed and less to blather.
x messages a day is a problem, in that if it can accumulated it ceases
to be a meaningful limitation; if it cannot, it lets the vocal minority
be shouted down by the vocal majority. It also retards earnest
conversations where one poster might need to answer more than x amicable
posts in a day rather than refute x adversarial ones.
