Bug: Email send queue plays "catch-up" if send time is set to point in the past.

If you are configuring a campaign, and use the delay functionality, and the time isn’t sent to a point in the future, it will do math from the point where it should have started to now, and play catch-up. Sent 90 emails immediately instead of doing 30 every 2 minutes.
Is this really a bug? I feel like this is expected behavior...? Why/how did you set the "start time" to a time in the past? The UI should default to basically "now" and only show time/dates in the future. I suppose if you sit on that Create Campaign page for a couple minutes, that could cause this from happening....but I'm interested in hearing what you came across.
I suppose I can force it to use "now" time if the time is in the past. Thoughts? I'd like more information about your specific case though
You are correct on your assumption of me sitting on the Create Campaign button for multiple minutes. Just double and triple-checking everything to make sure there are no mistakes in the campaign. I think your proposed solution sounds ideal.
