RI blog down?

[thumperton]

there's a blog? <p></p><i></i>

I got the same message today on a totally non-political/subversive blog... I guess it's just problems with blogger servers or whatever. <p></p><i></i>

if you're still having trouble with yours, you may want to try republishing. That sometimes works for me. <p></p><i></i>

My blog came back same time as RI's.<br><br>Servers do go down. Blogger's (servers) are very heavily used. <br><br>But, i was in my neighbourhood free wifi cafe checking the news and RI and got that <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="HTTPError">or</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--> 403 - Forbidden msg at RI, then checked my blog and same thing! ...and my newly caffienated mind jumped here, and there, and everywhere. <br><br>But no, it was just a technical issue at Blogger.<br><br>Still, other post above make valid point, it is plausible that the campaign is underway.<br><br>What if, for example, under Patriot Act Blogger had to shut down servers so certain records could be captured, servers reconfigured to allow 3rd party monitoring ...<br><br>We'd never know, because Blogger can't tell us ...<br><br>What an amazing, dumbfounding realization. That is how it would work ... <p></p><i></i>
