Is there an interview? I'll have to brush the dust off my suit.

After what you and I have been through - the position is yours for the taking

But it ONLY goes to club members!

Rolly - Tom and I aren't RICHMONDERS as much as Suburbanites of Richmond. Now, on Tom's side of the River, more yankess. But in ol' Chesterfield, we are a bunch of hicks hoping to climb to the higher rungs of society but we have to be able to bring our grits and collard greens and ham hocks with us! (what is a ham hock anyhow?

)

Plus, I am really a mix-breed, my Dad is from Buffalo, NY, and my Mom lived most of her life in Southern Maryland although she was born in the hills of Virginia (same as me!

) - we're from "The Waltons" neck of the woods (see - neck of the woods, grits, collard greens - that's not Yankee talk).

"Yankees in Tara! (Well, I just won't think about it....)"

Impatient? Yeah, right. Basically I do agree. However, MM is the only online store I know that goes down for days (!) without any apparent reason. Look, if the db crashes, it's a task of five minutes to setup a simple webserver that issues some basic information, e.g. "This domain is not available because the internet is controlled by the RIAA lobby."

I have a hard time imagining what they are doing that forces them to keep the whole site and everything related down for days. Not even if you move the whole system between continents would be a valable reason to keep the domain and server inactive.

I simply haven't ever seen such a behavior on any website I ever been on.

Exactly!! And then people are complaining why we aren't holding our collective breaths and/or holding a minute (or a week!) of silence waiting for them to return. I, personally, plan to do no such thing. Sorry, Koenfucius.
