One obvious reason would be to make it more attractive to people using
it, as many people give up on a site that regularly times out on them.
I've so far tried three times, and each time, you time out on me!!!
Since I don't get to set the timeout - that's built into the proxy we
are forced to use - you are effectively closed to me...
Best wishes from Riley.
