There is nothing normal about having posts moderated Craigsie. Therefore there is no normal time limit, but that which is applied by normal people to normal happenstance under normal constraints of effective normalcy. One might even think that someone was given a new ball and told they could bounce it wherever they pleased and not have to worry that everyone ( with few exceptions ) saw the bouncing ball and thought unto themselves " Oh my, who gave the special kid that ball, that could hurt someone"
So to assimilate data to date;
The special kid who was given the bouncy ball has bounced the bouncy ball, whilst grinning all the time and knocked lots of people sideways and still hasn't reached due tolerance due to some internal flaw in the management where perhaps a grown up hasn't noticed how the bouncy ball being bounced bouncily has upset what wasn't upset before and removed from post (!) the bouncer of bouncy balls.
I can't make it clearer than that, and because I cannot pronounce my th's I cannot also say fairer than that then either.
I can't be alone in enjoying your posts Craigsie. Apparently, someone IS alone in finding them less favoured.
