I'm glad to see great level of explaination of this here (because I had no idea that there was a lag-reconnect.. new I guess?)

I am too vulnerable to this problem, and it does make me more conscious of not spamming my buffer for this problem.

I personally do use GMud as my client, and this makes me want to address it in the most simplest way; which possibly the rest of you can try to address it in your clients..
Suggest to your client-makers, to have a 'clear typed buffer' option, or something similar.

When my copious free-time actually occurs, I'll look into adding this feature into the copy of Gmud I have the source for.

Though, I am certainly glad you were able to actually give some guidance to the actual problem at hand, so I can be on the watch to avoid having to actually encounter this lag.


Thanks!
