Julie,

Are you saying that because you think it's true or because you've
confirmed it through trial and error?

Here's a post Nathan sent to this list back in March:

No, someone set to EDITOR is also allowed to post regardless of the daily
per-subscriber posting limit.

>Could I remove the EDITOR= (LISTNAME) in the header and add the line
>DEFAULT-OPTIONS= EDITOR?

Yes, but as noted, this would not alter the situation.

Seems to me like your suggestion, while appreciated and intuitively
not such a bad idea, wouldn't work after all.

Oh well...

Thanks anyway.
