For some reason, I keep getting this error message: "The last posting from your IP was less than 360 seconds ago" -- even when there was no post from my IP (or at least no legitimate post from my IP!).
I've participated in scores of message boards over the years. This has got to be one of the worst for getting started.
Did I miss the newbies intro somewhere where everything is made clear?
Or is it all just screwed up?

Search and login counts as well. Also, maybe your ISP shares your IP between more customers.

Oh, I thought my ISP assigns IP addresses uniquely, but maybe that is possible.
I guess I could ask them, but it's probably not worth the amount of time I would have to waste to get an answer from someone in the company who would actually know.

Even the registration process seems to count as a posting.
I have just registered, and I cannot post here yet.

Now I can.

This is normal, you need to get out of your Newbie status, then this restriction will be removed. This is implemented to prevent spamming. You just need to make regular post for a few hours, then you will be out of your Newbie jail.

Good luck and welcome to the forum.
