FWIW, I've had troubles off and on today since I heard about the Wellstone airplane crash (11:00-ish Pacific time) and a Major Stall (pun completely unintended) on refreshing threads between 17:15 and about now. I would just guess excessive traffic.

Have a great weekend.

Someone just cleaned up the breaking news sidebar, and the posting is much faster. I think things might be back to normal.
