How many tournies are you holding up?

Tournament 531
Tournament 649
Tournament 687 (round just started after a slow draw between me and Daniv)
Tournament 705
Tournament 737
Tournament 834 not yet, but I can see me playing out the last games in this round
Tournament 870 as above

So... 7 tournies in all. I had never thought about this until I was browsing my in-progress groups tonight and saw this alarming pattern.

I hate to be a slow coach and holding things up, but at the same time I'm within my rights to play within the time controls. Should I speed up?

I think you're well within your right to play as fast as you want so long as you don't wait UNTIL the time control before playing each move!

P.S. I'm playing in tournament 870, get a move on would you!

Well rhb, you brought up the topic. I would say as long as you move there is no problem, but some people might wonder if posting a lot in the forums will actually increase your speed in the games. (Not necessarily connected of course, but then ...)
