BTW, make it N messages only, no elapsed time: if an ID isnt sending any messages, it surely isn't flooding anything also IMHO the no-WoT messages should be relatively many, like 75 or 100. This would ensure that virtually 'everyone' has had a chance to see at least one message from that ID (I'm thinking of an ID that sends lots of messages to a board that has relatively few subscribers)
