...and every time I see this message, it drives me bat-sh*t insane.  What's up with it?


And I apologize if this has been asked all ready.

It keeps bandwidth down. Imagine, if you will, several dozen people, all in the midst of rapid-fire reading-posting-reading-posting. That can't be easy on a server or an IP's connection.

Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't your IP address unique to your computer?  Or at least your network, or whatnot?  I ask simply because in the past I've gotten this message on the first post I try to put up.
