Well I can understand that too. Jim posts in threads when asked and not everyone sees them. In the last 3 days there must have been 4 or 5 inquiries about page views and why the activity tab doesn’t work. I was lucky enough to catch the explanation. But not everyone does. So they think something is terribly wrong and get distraught. Again, it’s human nature.
Anxiety and curiosity may be human nature (as is lying, cheating, gossiping, etc.), but it still seems rude to announce one is “sick and tired” of someone else not explaining why we are not able to use *their* equipment.
For me, the outages make me even more appreciative of the hard work done by those to keep Free Republic up and running. The very last thing I’d consider communicating is that I’m “sick and tired” of them not telling me what’s going on.
