Would it be possible to raise the maximum number of mefimails to 100 per hour?

We throttle to 30 per hour as a way to thwart spammers (which has worked in the past). 100 per hour sounds like way too many, can you just send a few in the morning and wait until later on to send more?
We didn't set it up to be an IM system for discussion between users, it's designed for occasional use so it has some hard set limits that go towards that goal.

Start here.
"In his classic analysis of the [G]reek vase in “Das Ding,” to which Lacan refers in his Ethics of Psychoanalysis, Heidegger also emphasizes how the vase as an emblematic Thing is formed around a central void, that is, serves as the container of a void — so it is tempting to read the Greek vase and the Kinder chocolate egg together as designating the two moments of the Thing in the history of the West: the sacred Thing at its dawn, and the ridiculous merchandise at its end: the Kinder egg is our vase today. The greatest threat to America today is this void."

Since starting this thanking madness last month,
I have thanked him once on Dec 18, 2010 4:47 PM.
He thanked me back. It was a good healthy community weblog interactive moment.

Ok, after getting the mefimail from TwelveTwo thanking me for the favorite I gave him, I can now firmly state that he's an awesome and wonderful person (thanks for the video, TwelveTwo!) and I *demand* that the mefimail limit be raised for him.

After the site owner and two moderators have either discouraged this use of MeMail, or said a flat "no" to this user request, what's the point of leaving this thread open? Just to keep a Metatalk party going?
Eh, I guess it's better than another gun control discussion.

1. This is a real Tehloki situation
2. I thought the Mefi by the numbers chart seemed to indicate a ridiculous amount of MeMails
3. I LIKE MEMAIL*
4. Seriously, what are you MeMailing???! A word a day novel?
Also? Go find people in IRC or whatever. Kids. Lawn. Etc.
*it's true, it has said so in my profile since whenever MeMail came out

I don't know either, of course, but perhaps some people would have mentioned their open admiration of futuristic personal defense weapon design, and Loughner might have passed around the hypothetical FN P90 for group inspection, and then everyone would have sung some inspiring folk songs, together, in perfect tune.
