Well, i'm glad the prob wasnt my fault. I was already this close to make a phone-call to the internet-provider, to make another complain about their bad internet-connection... But then i saw my post appear 6 times, lol, and that made it obvious the prob wasnt me, but R.I.N.K.W.O.R.K.S. itself.

His so-called "early morning reboot" (ha!) of his own worthless pocket-calculator-of-a-'puter tore through the internet lines, wreaking serious havoc on an unsuspecting RinkWorks, just as poor Paul was attempting to post another erudite addition to his scholarly exposés on non-kosher Bard-barians. And verily, the forum failure ne'er had a chance to "occur" until the perpetrator had "returned" from his "weekend". Thus hath the demonspawn been identified forthright. Our solemn task becometh clear: how shalt we lovingly *forgive* our churlish miscreant gone so far astray?
