This statement is unfortunately false. Looking at the latest net.news statistics on the top submitters, I see that #1 submitted 34 items (over two weeks, I think. Anybody know for sure?), and number 17 submitted 14 articles. Therefore, we have 16 people who submitted more than one, and less than three, articles per day. You therefore cut down on the net traffic by roughly 16 articles per day. I don't think it's worth the trouble. <mike
