While seemingly drastic I can appreciate preventative action of this sort to protect one's work, particularly in our current cyber-age where everything is fair game to the unscrupulous.
What puzzles me nevertheless about Staffer's recent action is the apparent suddenness of it all. It gives many of us the impression (regardless of whether it's an accurate assessment or not) that something unexpected happened...something unfavorable in regards to Stiffler's on-going work. Often when actions like this occur, when a web site suddenly becomes unavailable, it can be indicative that impending disaster is on the verge running rampant within the organization - rats leaving a sinking ship. Again, I certainly don't blame Dr. Stiffler for wanting to take a well deserved break. But jeez! Leave a place holder, a card at the front door saying something like, "Going fishing! I'll be back next week. etc..." I'd like to point out that out at the overunity.com web site everyone there seems just as mystified as we ignorant Vorts. BTY, someone by the handle name of "canam10" (is that you, Jones????) has just posted the Thanksgiving Holiday explanation. http://www.overunity.com/index.php?topic=3457.795 Jones, did Dr. Stiffler tell you personally that he was taking a well-deserved Thanksgiving break - or did he post his intentions in some obscure place and most of us (like me) simply didn't catch it?
