You're Posting Too Fast. Please Slow Down.
It's what HN tells you whenever you try to write more than about five posts every four hours. I don't know the actual parameters, but they are ridiculously conservative, and very obviously waived for certain accounts.
When it happens, the only way to actually provide a meaningful response to someone in a timely fashion is to edit a previous post. Which breaks the expected flow of a conversation, obviously. It's the thing I hate most about HN, without reservation.
