The reason there are a limited number of questions is because “once upon a time” there weren’t. In those days, Fluther experienced this new creature called the Query Spam Monster. He looked somewhat like a Spam can, but had a huge ”?” as a logo.
Because he kept spewing frivolous questions such as:
“Why is the sky blue?”
“Who is God?”
“Do you like the iPhone [check yes or no]?”
The Fluther decided the only sufferable remedy would be to limit the number of questions any individual jelly could ask in any given day.
Some might see this limitation as a handicap, but they are the minority. The majority of this collective likes the change, and appreciates the clean feel of the question stream.
The end.
