Faster than the speed of light!
« on: August 04, 2003, 03:23:09 PM »
It always makes me smile when I see this error:
The last posting from your IP was less than 10 seconds ago. Please try again later.

I'm probably posting faster than the speed of light! ;)

Why would I try to up my post count? I mean, do I get respect from members if I spam this whole forum with meaningless posts, so my post count will be high? ^-^
It's just, when there's only one new reply on a topic I haven't read yet, and it's a short one, so I don't have much te read, but I do want to reply on it, while I just posted another message, I get this error, and it always makes me smile! :) On YaBB.nl I see this message once every 5 minutes, because my brother (Mostmaster) is very active on that board also, and my brother and I share the same connection -> same ip... That can get very annoying in a while, trust me... ;)

Ah well, the only thing is: people often take your posts less serious or don't even bother to read them when there only is one star under your name with a number '10'  under it...When you've 5 stars, 3 extra titles, 4321 posts under your name, you're taken more seriously and everybody reads your posts...That's, as I see it, the only advantage of having a high post count...

Perl is the only language I really feel comfortable with other than C/C++ stuff.

(there were a couple other things, but that was the main one)
