When you try to view your posts on this forum in fairly quick succession, do you get this message:

You cannot make another search so soon after your last; please try again in a short while.

This message appears on my screen, even when there seems to be a healthy pause between mouse clicks.

Does this sometimes irritate you? Do you suffer from internet rage (I just invented the term)? Have you done anything violent whilst feeling this way?

Please explain any noteworthy things you've done when the message above, is displayed on your screen or alternatively, please let us know what OTT things you've done while suffering from internet rage. Laughing

I've experienced IR a few times while surfing Dave's. Usually pages loading very slowly send me into a fit.

What I do is immediately leave the site that is causing the IR response and visit another expat site. I also make it a point to not ignore sponsors on the site, but instead make a point of ensuring that no sponsor on the site that drove me into IR will ever directly nor indirectly get any business from me.

I no longer use the search function here.
Because I have every topic ever raised and every possible brusque response memorized.

I only have IR when a few tea sippin' liberal commie pinkos take over a thread and conduct middle school debate team practice.

For me this site is completely useless for about an hour at night around ten.
