First let me say thank-you to the administrators, moderators, et al for their diligence and work. I know from experience that this work can seem a thankless and unappreciated task especially if you seem to be pleasing nobody. Please know that it is appreciated. Thank-you!

I also have received the 360sec warning previously- I was surprised as I am a slow poster, sometimes taking several hours to compose a post. I received it trying to do a couple of quick updates to a couple of threads.

Whilst removal of the delay will speed things up, the prevention of spam is a worthy cause. A bit more contentious, but perhaps OK too (from *my* point of view) is the discouragement of the "me too", "me three", +1, etc. type of posts. To that end perhaps some compromise could be reached, in the form of a delay between, say 60 and 180 seconds? Even 60 secs will discourage spammers interested in "cut-n-paste post, cut-n-paste post" etc.

Perhaps 60 seconds would be my suggestion for a start.

I tried to post last night but I daresay you were in the throes of fixing it...as I received "access denied" to everything after I logged in!

Thanks again,
