one of your double posts. It's working fine now.

I got offline and did a maintenance sweep and threat scan and came up with no issues, came back and it was still doing it until a minute two after I saw this thread.

Very Question!

It's weird.. it won't say it's Posted but I go to my Posts and it's already there.

Glad I'm not the only one, too.. all the other sites work Great.

I could not have run a marathon, before a page opened, but a 50 meter dash was within reach, maybe I would have finally beaten the turtle that has been kicking my butt. Things are back to normal now.

It's now after 7:00 PM here (we are 6 hours ahead of the East Coast of North America).

My wife just made an unbelievable Easter dinner. Norwegian skrei in a garlic-lemon-black pepper sauce with a few shrimps in lemon-garlic-olive oil sauce, grilled Wolbecker white asparagus in garlic and oilve oil, arrugula salad with pomegranate and balsamico, and for dessert, the neighbors brought over a huge portion of thick dark chocolate mousse. It was the warmest day of the year so far, and we ate outside, finishing just in time for it to cloud up and get cool.

I had better things to do than wait for DU to get back up to speed. Tatort with Thiel and Börne starts soon, so I won't be lingering too long now, either. I hope things are/will be back to normal soon!
