   So you're saying they've had server problems for well over a decade   
   that have never been properly addressed even after all this time?   
   I'm skeptical to say the least, and haven't found the staff to be   
   particularly friendly through the years to boot.   
   By the way, if you reply, can you please see to it that your comments   
   are distinctly separate from mine? I'd appreciate it.
