I think the word restriction is too strong; impolite or crass would be 
better. Here is the quote which is lifted straight from Brian and is 
also in the Welcome to the LUG message that every subscriber gets.

My interpretation would be that it is polite to wait for Brian's 
automatic Friday reminders before engaging in any commerce on the LUG. 
It is a matter of "may I" rather than "can I". A subtle and 
sophisticated distinction I will grant you, and, one with which many a 
child has reduced their mother to despair.
