[Geoff Winnington-Ball (RIP)]

I've been on the MLU link since yesterday morning with little trouble - occasionally a bit slow, that's all. I haven't tried the Tortuga link yet today. I did send a couple of PMs last night and they were slow, though.

Keith may be right in that something has been at the server. I suspect the admins have put up some electronic fencing of some sort, because my daily spam ration has dropped to virtually nothing - an indication that they're blocking all but essential traffic, which may indeed cause delays. I'll see what I can find out.
