If someone (including myself) posts a lot of messages 
in a short period, I have some code that delays that person's
next message(s) until the situation clears up. 
This is done to gently discourage people from 
monopolizing the board, and using it as a private chat facility.
The code rarely kicks in, but I see that it did affect you (and others)
recently. I've changed the parameters just now, so it won't 
be as harsh in the future.
