I think there's a 90 second waiting period between posts in the same thread. That's meant to keep the spontaneous brawls from going on. Gives one
time to think before the next punch...so to speak.

Correct. Anti-spam, and overload protection in case of an attack to overwhelm the site by that method.

They probably get a time delay waiting for the post to "take" - and end up hitting the submit button a second time - at just the perfect time to make
that happen. Seems pretty rare. I notice that sometimes the software hiccups, and the same post displays twice - but it was only posted once. You
can tell by comparing the PID# of the post.

I liked my explanation better. Seems like only yesterday when I had a bit more of a fractious presence here on the board, and the wait period, if I
recall, was 15-seconds.
I was honored by that show of respect.
Then, it went to 60 seconds.
Jeeeezo...I was wallowing in power.
Then....90 seconds.
I was on top of my game....
And now....I'm told it's nothing more than an effort to thwart SPAM.
BTW....I love Spam.

btw.... there can be a "broad" interpretation of what spam is, mind you.

"We bad." twenty-four thousand nine hundred and fifty-six posts
"We are bad." thirty-two thousand seven hundred and sixty-seven posts, with a FEELING SMUG emoticon.
This is referred to as a "contribution" by Mr. Thirty-two Thousand.
I most often think of gratuitous post counting when I see this kind of "contribution". Anyone else feel that way?

I do throw in some pretty detailed trip reports, maps, and history stuff along with my casual posts Perry... Some can't figure out the way to post
photos, so I do that for them... I have even made web pages by request to show photos of cool Baja places (do you remember?)... If you prefer a Baja
forum with fewer posts, there are several others out there!
