Jynx,

Given that servers get reorged and re indexed periodically would support the
fact that all of a sudden things are ok with your connection (since you
reported similar issues as OP in the linked thread).
yes it has happened before, yes sometimes response sucks and sometimes individual
users get squirrelly response. If it gets reported we work on it. Sometimes we get
lucky and it doesn't take days to track down the problem (we're all volunteers here and
have real jobs that do require participation).
