24. An apparatus for sending messages with loudness points to self regulate transmission of messages, the apparatus comprising: a user interface module for generating and sending messages, the user interface module for receiving an input including a number of loudness points associated with a message from a first user, wherein the number is one or more, the message remaining unsent when unassociated with one or more loudness points; a loudness controller coupled to the user interface module for receiving the message and the one or more loudness points associated with the message, the loudness controller determining whether to send the message based upon the availability of the one or more loudness points associated with the message in a pool of loudness points available to the first user, the loudness controller scheduling to automatically send the message at a future time when the first user accumulates the one or more loudness points associated with the message based upon the unavailability of the one or more loudness points associated with the message in the pool of loudness points available to the first user, the loudness controller receiving a reply message from a second user, the second user having a pool of available loudness points, the loudness controller receiving one or more loudness points associated with the reply message, the loudness controller outputting messages sorted by associated loudness points, the loudness controller adjusting the one or more loudness points associated with the message based upon a quality rating and the one or more loudness points associated with the reply message; and a quality engine adapted to receive quality information and output quality ratings for users, the quality engine coupled to the loudness controller to provide the quality ratings.
