Gussy-baby "Since Herr Zumbrunnen (sp?) is back in town I've got problem posting on SI --how come?" You've got lots of problems. Most of them have to do with your stunningly hateful politics, your paranoia and your inability to make friends or influence people. Rumors that NSA has targeted your computer are exaggerated. I have a friend that indicates it'll be another couple of weeks before they get around to the 'small fry'. I've heard other rumors that they can now target smart bombs based on email addresses and ISP numbers. It's a good idea to turn off your computer when not in use and in your case an even better idea to leave it off. Actually, I suspect NSA has no interest in you and I think you should look for the problem in your computer and particularly it's operator.

Das ist stimmt: "Zumbrunnen". What kind of problems are you having posting on SI? I'm not aware of any kinds of problems currently that would be experienced when trying to post on SI, much as I wish there really were a conspiracy, if only to put me on a payroll. <g> Oh, wait. I know what the problem is. It'll be better tonight. We've got an enforced 3-hour Molasses Mode. It used to be in effect from 10AM to 1PM Eastern, but I've changed it to 3AM to 6AM. You're posting during that time. Since the enforcement of Molasses Mode is accomplished by backing up the whole database, and we now have a different backup process happening, I'll go ahead and unimplement Molasses Mode altogether.
