Nope, i get:
The connection was reset
The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.
The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.
etc etc
It could be working fine for some but had its bandwidth/connections throttled back I suppose so others can't get on, but it's giving me that error v v quickly

Exactly.
If people were stupid enough to act upon the views of certain members of an internet forum, then they deserve everything they get.
I wonder what the likes of julieq would be saying about a website like housepriceboom.co.uk, if it existed. Mind you it would have struggled in competition with the mainstream media who did their fair share of promoting property investment.

If you like your debate to be of the one-sided ya-boo variety with extra lashings of misogyny that is possibly true.
You have to bear in mind that the typical HPC contributor seems to be male, works in IT and is very obviously single. This does bleed through to the discourse.0 -
