   I expect that the "no posting limits" does apply, to completely different   
   messages.   
      
   However, if you post too many substantially identical messages (like spammers   
   do)   
   then those particular messages may be caught by a server-side ECP/EMP spam   
   filter.   
   This is a posting limit on substantially identical content, not a posting limit   
   on you.                    ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
