Hi,
I thought I was dreaming over the last year or so, but I looked into
this and Bill Gruber helped confirm it:
When you have a limit on the number of postings to a list, and you
HOLD/FREE the list before the limit is reached (or any time?), then the
counter of the number of posts gets reset to zero.
I think the way it should work is that the counter is not affected by
the HOLD/FREE command at all, but should just keep on counting and still
automatically HOLD the list when the limit is reached. If the list is
held automatically, then a FREE command should take it from there with
the counter no longer being checked. Of course, the counter should be
reset to zero when the new day arrives (depending on a parm command or
the system time?) to make it a daily limit.
It might also be nice to be able to send a command that would add a
specific amount more to the list limit for one day only, say by adding
10 more to the limit (which will autoFREE the list and process the 10
more and hold itself again).
Anyone else seen this problem?
