Chill out. The following is no longer relevant but provided by way of explanation. Firstly, does "last Wednesday" mean the most recent Wednesday or Wednesday of *last* week? Secondly, by saying it had been up until last Wednesday you appear to imply that it went down on Wednesday but you actually say it went down on Friday, which could be considered confusing. Thirdly, if it did reset its uptime on Wednesday that could mean a five minute reboot or an extended downtime and going on about what happened on Friday doesn't help me guess which. imc
