Has anyone had iChat display a message like: "you have tried too much data, please wait a few minutes", or something close to that? It seems to happen to me when I chat with certain people on my list.

It's a "feature" of the AOL/AIM servers that if you send to many short messages in a row, it will prompt you that error and will not allow you to type for a minute or so. This is supposedly to help stop "spamming" of messages...

This is AIM's flood protection kicking in.
