I think the “personal offense” you are referring to,is more our perception of you as some kind of self-appointed, self-deputized defender of something or someone you can’t or won’t quite name.

Then you are sadly mistaken. I didn't submit request linked to in post #18 that you obviously didn't read. Your excuse is to kill the messenger.

Forgive me for being out of the loop, but I was having trouble with FR all day. (My connection(s) kept timing out). Did we have any server problems here today or was it just with my computer?

I don’t know what happened. I couldn’t access the site all day right up to when I went to bed around 11:30pm. There is a way to check if a site is down. Go to the run window in your pc and type in “cmd”. From that window type in “ping” then type either the website name(ex:www.freerepublic.com) or the ip address then hit enter. A site that is connected to the web will reply with the ip address. A site that is down will return the “request timed out” message as did FR all day yesterday.

Why didn’t you PM one of the mods to find out what happened? Just askin’.
