Hi, Michael.

I don't pay for this service (FT), but I sure love it. You know what they say about passion ...

Things are better right now (07:14 AM my time).

I am not an "angry" poster (i.e. Hungry Traveler). I work in this field, so I try to understand.

I do think, however, that some sort of message (automated?) should be posted when things start to slow down and muck up. The only way I know if things are "down" is to go to the Technical Issues forum to see if the "Slow Today!" thread is active.

As you may have noticed, this thread jumps over many days and incidents, and posters aren't always aware of that.

Perhaps making use of the "mail delivery" box (at the top of each forum) to inform users of tech problems would be a good idea.

I think the majority of the FT users here would just like to know if it's a FT thing or if their PC/ISP is on the blink.

Thanks for listening.
