This slowness problem seems to be a lot more extended and is taking a lot longer to "resolve" than similar problems in the past. I don't think that "traffic" is to blame - - as I recall, new threads and posts during the summer of '98 (impeachment summer) had to blow away whatever is coming along now.

On the other hand, when I tried to post to yesterday's FReeper USO Canteen thread (the one about the soldier who was killed during a covert operation in Poland), it took forever for the thread to come up because of all the pictures and graphics. I finally gave up on it.

But would that kind of stuff have anything to do with me clicking on 'Post Reply' in order to bring up this box I am typing into and having to wait forever for it to come up? (That is, if I don't get the "Site Not Responding" pop-up first.)

I think the problem is some kind of virus, security breach, or scumbag Democrat sabotage. That's what I think.

Personally, since no one including Jim seems to know, I am voting that the cause is an organized sabotage plan by either DU or the DNC in general. If 50,000 e-mails are sent to Rat volunteers telling them to lurk on FR as often as possible, I think that would pretty much do it.

I am not a computer expert, but when stuff like this happens couldn't we go to an "only registered users" plan?
