So sorry to those of you who are so offended by my questioning of what I consider a rule that could be handled better. I'm not an internet forum administration master by any means, hence the lack of constructive corrective action, but this isn't my first forum nor is it my first foray into biking. I have much I can learn from my last 20 years away from the sport but the changes will most likely be modest when compared to my overall experience. Look, I just want to participate. Apparently this rule is temporary until I've been here longer, which is fine, but that wasn't pointed out in the message I received when trying to exceed the five in 24 limit. This message made it seem like a general rule that applied to all members all of the time. If it was made clear that it is a temporary measure for new members to control spammers and bots this thread wouldn't exist.
