I think I have at least half a dozen articles bookmarked in one place or another for things I intend to follow when I have the time...

First of all, this sucks:
It has been less than a minute (60 seconds) since your last comment was successfully posted. Please wait a while before attempting to post a new comment.
You should test from post time to post time, not post time to start time! I read an article, and comment on it, doing several revisions, re-reading it, and so on. Then I see a poll, and have a comment on that, and .. I can't start editing? Clock from comment start to comment start or comment post to comment post, and any human spending normalish times writing or editing won't hit this idiot-box.
As for how often I visit, I visit when my feed reader tells me there are new articles. What else?

Not intentionally I assure you.
I'm happy to relax things, but in the past the moment I did the abuse started. Getting the balance right is hard..
All restrictions go away for registered users because it is easier to keep track of all the things they do and not because I want to force people to register. I have no incentive either way.
Anonymous users are reasonably anonymous (barring IP details) and as such they get a little more attention, such as the time limit to avoid spamming and the use of the filter which is trained based upon comments previously posted:
- "Good comments" being a random selection from the database.
- "Bad comments" being a random selection of previously reported ones.
Obviously mistakes happen, and but a mail to me would be a productive way to deal with it, rather than griping here ..

That shouldn't be happening for registered users, only for anonymous users.
I've had a quick look at the code just now and it seems correct. But for the moment I've dropped the time delay to 30 seconds.

Nothing terribly interesting - I don't tie the users to the IPs so it's all just random stats.
I look at the traffic rising month-on-month and thats enough for me. I don't really look at them otherwise, although I'm sure there are interesting things you could do with the data, even aggregated.

I normally check the site in person at least once or twice per day in case there is something interesting in the weblogs.

The reason I have this site as my browser homepage though is that it serves as a reminder about the articles I still have to read about. So in a sense, I'm "reminded" every time I fire up a browser. Much like I used take all the unread messages in my local LUG mailing list as a reminder of all the things I should read....at least this is more realistic and doable. Not to mention the fact that the articles and knowledge sharing here is definitely A+ quality.
