It is getting hard to post on the DU...

That last link up about Stonehedge took me almost an hour to complete!!! I don't know what is going on with this site, sometimes it run fast and then it run so slowly that I have to go elsewhere. I'm sorry that I can't post here as much as I would like.

DU's internet provider is doing some maintenance tonight at 11pm EDT to (hopefully) sort out a technical issue between them and Qwest/CenturyLink. See EarlG's post in the Announcements group.

They've been recommending people try DU's alternate domains to see if any of them seem to connect better than the normal www domain. Here is a list if you want to try them:

http://metamorphosis.democraticunderground.com
http://upload.democraticunderground.com
http://sync.democraticunderground.com
http://election.democraticunderground.com
http://betterment.democraticunderground.com

I was able to link to a magazine site and it didn't take an hour!!! Kudos to the Administration! (I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this lasts!)

I had actually began to think that the net neutrality issue was responsible or that Century Link was censoring political views! And thank you Mike7 for your suggestions, even though they weren't necessary!
