I didn't think of my message as a complaint.
I know, though, that some people depend on this site for company or responses during the day. So I also can imagine that it's disappointing or even distressing when it either isn't loading (which happened yesterday, but also more often than desirable lately, although for shorter periods) or is extremely slow. On some days recently, it's taken more than a minute to load each time I opened anything, which can make reading threads quite difficult.
On the other hand, one other day, there were hours during which the site timed out repeatedly after 20 seconds on my browser. I don't remember how many times I reloaded-- but it was quite a few.
I have no idea what the problem is, or whether (or how) to fix it.
I only meant to point out that it is a real problem. It definitely affects each of us differently depending on our patterns of use, and our needs at any moment-- as sunnydays points out.
I hope it goes without saying (although I'm happy to say it) that I'm very appreciative of Bob's willingness to maintain this place.
