It's all right for many of us that Mudcat is down; we can wait for the service to be restored and than post what we want to write.... but have you considered those English-born but Irish-based contributors who need instant access to Mudcat 24/7 so that they can continue their perpetual arguments from entrenched positions and pepper their reasoning with insults when they think that things are not going well?
Have you thought how these poor people manage to fill the hours when Mudcat is down?
