The connection timed out on me - I'm hoping that's just because Mudcatters and others are all trying to get through.
Assuming that this is a temorary blip, and that the facility is really is back today, I think that is about the best way you could have of marking your Independence Day. (And better than some other ways, from what I read and see.)
If there's a Mudcat Medal of Honour available, the man deserves it.
