1. Yippeeeeeeeee!

Finally, back to normal!

[K8-EEE]

2. I WORKED!!! I'M SOOOOOOO HAPPY!

Love you DU! It was horrible being disconnected, even though via twitter I got the direct link and although couldn't log in and could only get on GD, I was able to read Skinner's explanation. Whew! After a day or so I started thinking DU went away or was horribly broken.

All of us who take for granted that this great site is going to snap open for us every day need to remember during pledge drives our appreciation. THANKS SKINNER AND ALL DU ADMINS AND USERS! I LOVE THIS SITE!

3. so what the heck happened?

my understanding was that it was a DNS problem, my SO said "hmmm government experiment, maybe" but really what happened?

4. Someone "picked a nit" and brought the whole DNS thing down on us

a wrong phone number pointed out by some "helpful" person?

5. Even FR was upset!!! That's where I found out it wasn't my computer

but they surmised it was a hacker...LOL.

7. that's where I found out the same thing

I don't feel so embarrassed but the Freeps thought it was Anonymous which left me going :wtf:

8. I will admit I was getting a little paranoid

I tried repeatedly to get on and same old message. So glad when it came up this afternoon! Being computer illiterate I had no idea how to check out the situation myself.

9. I got a flashback of what a newborn feels when the cord is cut...

I've been 'ignorant' for 3 days!
