Re: What are your plans for no-forum-Wednesday?

Well, at about 6:15, I'll go back to bed and have a nap until 7am.

Re: Order limit

Its been one-per-person for a long time now.

I don't know which mechanism is going to be used to enforce this, but it WILL be enforced until there's a reasonably good balance between production and demand.
