Yes, I wholeheartedly agree, Dorian!

As I'd noted previously,

"Actually, I'd actually suggest going down to 30 secs! The reason I note this is that when things are really bad, (really, REALLY slow, and that is fortunately very rare), is when we appear to most need it, it but when it will not do the job very well since the lock up yields no feedback and one will very likely press return again - and again. We have seen this in the past when 5-10 posts were made over a 30 - 50 min period. So even 5-10 mins would presumably result in little additional gain - yet it will possibly help to discourage too much posting by any individual, in too short a time!

The real trick, IMHO, is simply to press the return key just once!
