I view every thread in a different tab, so I'll go through and read all the pages, hit "post response," and write my responses in Notepad while I'm waiting for the page to load. The response pages open after the thread pages(of course), so I read most of the threads and write most of the replies before I get to the "post a response" pages. Copy + paste + post takes about two seconds, so I get the "cannot post so soon" message quite often.

I get it all the time. I usually open a zillion pages at once while I'm reading another page, so that they can all load. I do the same thing with the "reply" thing so it often comes up with that message.

Rarely. My posts are not usually very close together. I hang around here quite a lot, but I don't always have stuff to say.

Which brings me back to what I was thinking about last night...I still find it weird that I made almost 2000 posts in 13 months, and now it's been over 34 months since then, and I don't even have 750.

Not like it matters very much to me though.

Anyway. No, I don't get that message very much. I did get it once yesterday though.

No, I never officially left; yes, I am gone forever. I have also permanently left AIM. If you need to contact me, drop a line on LJ. Same username.

All the time.

Especially during WW, if I'm posting, then PMing, etc.

Sometimes... I get it more on randomness though, and I don't think I've gotten it for a while.

I've gotten it countless times. Usually because I make a big typo or need to include something and have to edit it, but it still makes me wait. I also get it when I post in different threads close to each other (even though I only use one window). But I'm glad it's there because it may stop spammers from "speed-spamming".
