Still, it would have meant that all 0.8 users would have immediatley been told that something was wrong. I don't know to what extent it was luck that this was dealt with as promptly and efficiently as it was, but to the extent that luck was involved, a slew of 0.8 users shouting in various places "wtf is going on" couldn't but help in reducing the element of luck if something similar were to happen again. roy ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites.
