I've proffered the idea, many times, of corrolating the time wait with the length. Ex: Less than 10:00 = two hours between RQ. 10:00 to 20:00 = three hours between RQ. OVer 20:00 = four hours between RQ. I think this would "nip in the bud" the problem of one person requesting a lot of long songs in a day. There're are no restrictions on what can be requested, nor how often; just a nice way to keep things more "proportional." My two cents, anyhow!

If only Jim and VAXman would grasp my brilliance! Actually, I know that it would just mean more work for VAX, so I get that it's not vital!

Re: Over 20 minutes song

I think maybe almost all of Moonies have complaint of waiting songs they request.
I'm afraid listeners sometimes try hard to receive rapid and repeated changes of sound...

But...but I suggest this changes of sound must be the essence of progrock, as seasons change on the earth.

Thanks for a lot of opinions on the thread. I appreciate.
And could you let me request my favorite over-20-minute songs from now?
