What is it with the danged flood control?

Some of us are speed typists, you know...not to brag, but I type 85 WPM and quite often, I may answer more than 1 thread in under 90 seconds...what gives?

I can understand maybe a 30 second wait...but 90? Please! It's very disconcerting to make a reply to someone, to have "flood control" come up, and you hit your back button to find that the form has wiped out your entire reply.

Well Saz, I see what your saying, I am a fast typer myself (80-100), but I never get the problem of having my reply wiped out. Why not try copying it before you post, just to be on the safe side?

Many have been saying that, I went ahead and changed it to 30 seconds, and we'll see what kind of impact it has on the servers, it should be ok, but we'll see.

Thanks, Ziroc. If 30 seconds is too much of a load, maybe 60 seconds? I don't know, but I've been stymied several times by the 90 second thing...
