Aren't we all glad they told us they were going to stop taking orders
for SIX MINUTES.
We were informed, right?
We were given some warning that everything was going to be shutdown right?

uhhhhhhhh...... no, we weren't.

I wonder when they'll "decide" to suspend taking orders again for a certain period of time.

I guess it's russian roulette? We have no way of knowing just take
our chances? Remember, he said he DECIDED to shut them down. He
didn't say anything crashed.

What do the rest of you think about this?
Would you like to be notified before they "DECIDE" to suspend taking
orders in the future?
