548709 2007-05-10 02:29:00 The warning about 30 seconds between postings should be a warning that the first one has been accepted. The blank screen dosn't mean that nothing is happening. If you cancel the original Post command, the cancellation will be ignored, or, more likely, act only to cancel the redisplay of the page, containing P1. When you go into the advanced editing mode you are in fact producing a second posting, with the buffer containing the text of P1.

Computers are very clever. :nerd: are nearly idiot proof. But we have a very superior class of idiot here. :thumbs:

Oh..yeah! I follow all that..but something's changed here.....

This is NOT the way it usta work. :badpc:

And besides, how are you gonna see the 30 second warning anyway? The only way it pops up is if you ACTUALLY try to double post..which is something that even I know not to do. I usually wait 35 seconds to double, triple or quad post. ;)
