*Stupid Babby*

I thought it was a good idea, although for most people I bet they didn't notice a difference. It did seem to have the affect in USPOL of reducing the amount of petty slap fighting in a very charged weekend, and also prevented people from producing the double post "my 2nd post is an obvious straw man of what I expect your rebuttal to be, checkmate" style of posting I hate.

On the other hand, the slowdown didn't end up making people sit down and write more words in their posts, but I'm not going to get out a word counter and see. Perhaps if it was a permanent option, it would over time.
