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?
