I replied to the OP to let them know that curbing your posting isn’t going to make any difference to our traffic load — however, when DU is running slowly, it is definitely not a good idea to hit the post button over and over again. Just hit it once and wait

It won’t help to reduce traffic but it will help to prevent duplicate posts.

On one hand, we're saying, "Don't hit post." O.T.O.H., it doesn't matter how many people post. 3Hotdogs Nov 2024 #15
