I also noticed that you can't do multiple searches one after another. They make you wait for a period of time.
What's up with that?

This is nothing new. Perhaps you just didn't notice before. The waiting time between searches is necessary to control the load put on our server. It's a technical solution to keep the site running smoothly.
Thank goodness for this one, as searches bring the system to a crawl! They are probably the cause of many a double post.
As far as the off board contact thing, well, I disagree with it, but I don't get a vote. I know for a fact that many good DB related things happen off board, when time is really important, and hoping someone will see a post just doesn't cut it. of course, I imagine there has been non DB activity as well. So there you go.
