There is also the problem of people just starting a new message with out using reply (or a digest user replying to the digest) which will place the message in a new thread.
This is why I made the comment that "per thread" limits really need to be combined with some form of over-all limit or new-thread limit to minimize the ability to "game" the system. Yes we can put limit on number of new threads one can start, but then we will have to decide how much....Won't it depend on type of list ? Should we be leaving it for list-admin to decide?

Most definitely, just as I hope the "per thread" limits are something the list-admin can control, as again, that is something very much list dependent. And again, those limits would be time rate based, not an absolute value.
