First, let me apologize...

[hmpf]

for posting so much, and mostly so much useless stuff recently. I don't know why I do it. Maybe it relieves the stress; or maybe I'm just making up for the Lost Year or something. Anyway, I'm sorry I'm sort of spamming your flists at the moment. I'm sure it's only a phase. I hope you haven't all moved me to the 'too many posts, don't read' filter by now. ;-)

Secondly, I have a question about LJ that's been bothering me for a while: is it just me, or is LJ very, very slow, and completely unreachable a lot of the times you're trying to post/read your flist/access your memories? I'm wondering if there's some sort of weird Hmpf-LJ-incompatibility thing going on here because I never see anyone else complaining about it. But for me, LJ is a major time waster, not so much because I spend so much time on here but rather because I seem to spend at least half of that time just waiting for pages to load, and getting error messages again and again and again. It drives me crazy! (ETA: And this is not a recent problem; it's been that way at least since I took up regular posting again earlier this year.)

hmm. I rarely have this problem. Every so often, but not in the last few months.

I always think that there aren't enough posts on LJ to read, so post away [g]

Not to worry! Keep posting away!!

I don't think LJ has been loading slow most of the time. It rarely happens.

I've not seen it. Are you using some crazy German proxy service or something?

Dude, I *like* reading your "useless" posts. Useless posting's all I really do on my LJ thingy too, so consider it repayment. :)

And no, I don't have problems with LJ loading.

I haven't had a problem, but that's because I have a permanent account and permanent and paid accounts get prioritised over free accounts when it comes to page requests.

In fact, when I look at the source of any lj page there's a message like this:
""
at the top, where X is some random number of free users.

No, I haven't moved you to a filter, because I am enjoying reading what you have to say. Also,it's not just you with the LJ thing - it fucked me off so much, back in February (pardon my language), and it's still doing it now, although as I said in another comment, I've noticed a mild improvement since I got a paid account. But it's not much of one. That being said, I'm having extreme problems with my dial-up connection (and have been since about February), and I thought it was to do with that.
