2 microseconds? That's way too much time, try more like
2 yoctoseconds.
Seriously, it is a bug I'm aware of, although I don't remember the
explanation for why it happens to some people and not others.
There is no time limit set for deleting posts. If I recall
correctly, even when a time limit was set, the error still
occurred. I believe this is fixed in the next version of the
forum software which is due to be completed later this month.
As for the double post, a couple of alternative options you have are a)
remove the text and replace it with "it's Jeff's fault" (or some other
lighthearted statement) or b) use the report link and ask for it to be
deleted.
I know this transition hasn't been perfect and I apologize for the inconveniences caused by the recent upgrade.
