I know what you're thinking: "put it in 'Suggestion Box.'" Well, not everyone reads it, and I thought I would see if I can get everyone's feelings and input on this in a place that those who can change it will, at least, hear us. FYI, there are two posts on this in the "Suggestion Box" already, but not many have replied (hence, why I'm posting this here), but I know it is not too popular with the people I've talked with so far.
Why do I hate it? I have a fast connection, and can regularly move between topics and forums. Two minutes might not seem like a long time, but when you are typing responses--and not all are huge, long responses to posts--you find the two-minute flood control to be a formidable pain.
What do I propose? Put it back to one-minute. I mean, I think it worked great as-is: it slows down silly posting, while allowing switching between serious topics with brief replies.
So, if you agree with what I'm writing here, please make some sort of recognition here.
Regards,
Melon

And even though most of them had gone under, their ignorance had confused Roy, making him wonder whether the things he had striven to learn, and thought of as 'culture,' were irrelevant. Everything was supposed to be the same: commercials, Beethoven's late quartets, pop records, shopfronts, Freud, multi-coloured hair. Greatness, comparison, value, depth: gone, gone, gone. Anything could give some pleasure; he saw that. But not everything provided the sustenance of a deeper understanding." - Hanif Kureishi, Love in a Blue Time
