"You cannot make another post so soon after your last; please try again in a short while."

That's not very condusive to frequent posting if you ask me. What gives? Is there a set number of minutes that we have to wait until posting again? Thanks for any info.

It's called flood control. The interval is 15 seconds.

I see this most often when I make a post. Realize I boneheaded some word, click edit, fix the word, and hit submit within 15 seconds.

I just consider it the price for allowing imperfection to slip off of my nimbly deft fingers.

Yeah - this happens to me too when editing. I've reduced the interval to 5 seconds.
