Hey guys please have a cool beer and relax a bit...
While I too find it annoying to see that message because I am often a quick poster (PMs/board messages) you guys should also understand that these kind of forums are under continuous "attacks" by spambots (sometimes successfully).
I personally am pretty sure that whenever I get that message it is actually true that I posted within 40 seconds. However, I don't think that is the worst about it, the worst is that you cannot simply "wait it out" (another 40 seconds) and then press the submit button again because it won't work.
What I learned to do to "save the situation" is to copy all text in the message I wanted to write (cmd-a, cmd-c, replace cmd for control if you use windows), go back, wait 1 minute or so and create a new posting, then cmd-v (control-v).
It's annoying but Bruno is not out here to deliberately annoy us, quite the opposite I'm sure.
(What really is annoying is KLOV forums shut-down every 24 hrs. somewhere in the morning (well here in Europe) and simply deleting your entire posting if you were writing one without a chance of recovery).
Bringing back the nr. of seconds won't help much I'm sure because I often type a (short) reply within 20 seconds....
I'm not sure if the timing of 40 seconds is so exact....there's all kind of stuff between our computers and the one serving this forum.
