I think this is some kind of flood control which will not let you post in 30 seconds after you've made another post. Don' ask me what it's for, maybe for "spam-something" or accidental double posting.

It resists some folks feeble attempts to boost their post count.

There was a free webspace giveaway for >100 posts in the early stage of this forum (although I understand the folks who passed the mark are still lookin for it :() I think someone spammed in, like, 100 posts in a day.

So, bytey, yer gonna have to increase yer posts the hard way :D

OK Igloo Doc, I guess I will have to earn my posts the hard way.... thru CSS sheets or something.

Weaning from tables is painful. I may have to consult a physician.
