Well, for starters, the site is back up.

It was a more successful way of conveying "please don't ask until you can confirm for yourself that it's back, because we don't know anything more than you do" than previous attempts.

I must admit I interpreted it as "Go away ... we're busy", but wasn't sure about the busy bit, I just hoped that was what you meant. But I did try the site for another 24 hours. After that message. perhaps a "We're back kids message" might have been helpful, but would possibly have been too hard to organise?

How about ... "Yes, we know!! We're trying to fix it!!!"? Not exactly warm and fuzzy but a bit warmer and fuzzier than the original. But we all seem to have found our way back here, whether TPTB wanted us back or not.

We did put an update in the post when it was fixed.

That said, I've removed the post from the site.

Are we there yet?  She's touching me.  I have to go to the bathroom.  Are we there yet?

I suspect being a mod or site admin type is great prep for becoming a parent.

Nope, my bad.  I didn't mind the post and found it amusing.  Completely understand and appreciate.  It was the continuing of it (thinking from the standpoint of a possible new reader) that made me ask.

All the mods are god in my opinion.  yeah, that was a little "g" or it would have to shift to touchy topics.


thanks always for all you do.  sorry if I didn't express myself well.
