I think the time for the timer has passed ...

Because I both think and type quickly, I keep running into the "sixty seconds between posts" timer.

I know why you put it in there, UT, but she seems to be gone now. If the other guys are having similar frustrations to mine would it be possible to disable it?

I've lowered it. It can't go away completely; it's a "floodcheck" thing which should/might help if someone wants to play games with us.

Thanks from me, too. I get that a lot, especially when adding a brief, witty quip. I'm better at that than, say, a long and involved diatribe, because I'm not very deep.

SteveDallas · 01-12-2004, 03:05 PM

It never bothered me cause I usually make a post and then edit it 3 or 4 times.

I've only hit it occasionally because there's usually a post or two that are waiting to be read before replying.

I have a habit of writing up several posts and then not posting any of them. Sometimes, however, I try to post all of them at once. So I occasionally run into these limits.

Users regularly putting less than 60 seconds of thought into their posts has lead to less intelligent discussion, if you ask me.

I considered quickly posting that no one did ask you, but then i decided to make some sense instead. sometimes...SOMETIMES, you get a real honest thought from someone who doesn't take the time to overthink things, which can actually lead to more intelligent discussions by more people.

juju · 01-13-2004, 02:44 PM

Sometimes, yes. Usually, though, it just leads to more sub-intelligent blather.

I think it was Mark Twain who said
