Matt, for someone I thought was almost as intelligent as me, you appear to have missed a trick here. Because you can certainly post again immediately after your last one. All you have to do is choose the option to edit your last post, then add your new post at the end of the previous one. OK strictly speaking it's not a new post, but an addendum to the last, but if it's that urgent or important, this would be a perfect solution. Alternatively, you could wait a month before posting a new post, by which time it will not seem so urgent or important, and then you needn't bother. This is always my preferred option, except that 99% of my posts are urgent and important..

You're welcome. Nicky. Oh, and don't worry about snowflakes, Matt. We're slowly heading for a new mini ice age. Global warming, aka climate change as they now like to refer to it, ain't gonna happen. But all you need to do with a snowflake, should it be necessary, is either (a) subject it to the white heat of logic, or (b) give it a kiss.. :)

That perfect description of many (but not all) of the younger generation made me laugh out loud Matt :lol:

It's set to 60 seconds primarily to stop "attackers" from setting up multiple accounts and flooding the forum with non stop posts which could potentially crash the server. These days you can never be too safe. If you take less than 60 seconds to make a post after just submitting another then the post is probably not worth it anyway, in which case you should edit your last post instantly to add that second comment.
