The point is that many people would pay for reliable service, but you can’t go that route until it’s reliable. Something major broke, and there should have been an announcement telling people what’s going on.

This is as true for paid subscribers as for users of the free service. And tonight, it’s true even well beyond peak hours.

The forum… the last time I was able to get to it, in mid-afternoon… is filled with unanswered complaints, and neither Jeevan nor any of the HS regulars who sometimes help out has posted in a long time.

Either they’re rebuilding their world into something wonderful that we’ll all appreciate, or… and I fear this is more likely the case… HS is on its way down for the metaphorical third time.

If it isn’t working in a day or two, I may contrive to use Blogger comments on my annex site, probably one comment per YDD page rather than one per post. I don’t want to do that, but I really miss unfettered interaction with my readers.

(I think I’ll put this comment up as a post on the YDD.)
