This seems like a valid point. If we are looking to make Ask.LibreOffice 
as efficient as possible. We could make it 900 and monitor it for any 
abuse -- if need be reduce the amount there is too much abuse.

Alex Werner is in charge of the Ask.LibreOffice site.

Alex: could you please look into this bug?

Cheers,

Marc
