  MESSAGE:  (#4082) Security question.

The spam bot visiting the board reminds me that there are jerks out there and 
therefore this DoS (Denial of Service) question comes to mind because I've 
seen it with forms. A person/bot fills in a form and runs a macro to Submit 
hundreds, even tens of thousands of times. (If the form has ack page(s), it 
just goes Back to the Submit page, etc.) I've seen many flavors of this. 

I'm curious if anyone has addressed this by way of preventing the Submission 
after say 5 times (whatever), or nn number of seconds between, etc.? 

Bob
