It's turtles all the way down. The broader issue is that "down" is a pretty vague term. Sometimes it can just be a mistaken user, other times it's a particular ISP or region of the world, and still other times it is all really down, though even then it can be completely temporary (5 minutes of not working before resuming normal operations inexplicably). Personally, I don't care if Comcast in California is having routing issues, and I imagine most of our users wouldn't either. I'm sticking with the original request that the line simply be removed. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
