Nobody is in any doubt about the principal cause of the problem yesterday.
However, by selective quoting, my ACTUAL point was conveniently edited out... namely that the problems have been apparent to many PPRuNers for the past week. By definition, that cannot have been affected by the increased traffic caused by the 777 accident at Heathrow, no matter how tempted anyone is to proffer it as the underlying cause.
What I actually said was:
Amazing! PPRuNe must be psychic. The Heathrow accident is now offered as an explanation for all the problems getting online today, but I was getting this message and having problems getting on for the past week. Possibly PPRuNe was grinding to a halt in anticipation of the accident? I think we should be told about it's divine connections....
If my attempt at humour, whilst making a valid point, is mistaken and considered offensive, then that is highly regrettable.
Many other posts on the matter echo my own findings, and should be considered before shooting the messenger.
