No, I was meaning a lower time limit.
Suppose the delayed time is 60 seconds, and articles are received at 
time 3, 59 and 62 seconds after the start of the timer.
I am under the impression that when the third article arrives, all of 
the spooled lines (for the 3 articles) are sent.  So the second article 
has only been delayed for 3 seconds, and the last one had no delay at 
all.  Isn't it what happens?

My question was if we couldn't have a minimal time for an article, for 
instance by associating each spooled line to a time, and only write the 
ones that have been delayed enough according to the timer.
No need for any alarm I think.

Unless I misunderstand the rule about when the spooled lines are written?
