BLITHERING IDIOT AND HARDCORE DURIAN APOLOGIST. LET ME TELL YOU WHY THIS SHIT DON'T STINK EVEN THOUGH WE ALL KNOW IT DOES BECAUSE I'M SUPER CULTURED.
As an intermittent poster, I liked the change, even though it did get in the way of some back-and-forth conversation at one point.

If somebody makes a good post that I want to reply to in a fast-moving thread, and I read it a few hours and a bunch of pages later, it seems pointless to respond. Discussion's moved on, window's closed, chance missed. Slow mode makes it easier to catch up, and it seems like it's less of an issue to bring up a post from 80 posts ago rather than 500 posts ago, even if 450 of those posts were white noise. If slow mode can cut out most of the white noise and not too much of the genuine back-and-forth, it seems like a worthwhile change. If I just want a constant feed of Content without worrying about quality or thought, twitter and youtube are easy enough to get to.
