    With all due respect. I have never in my life, seen a web site that functions as abysmally as this one. I am seeing transfer rates of around 3.0 KB/sec, or less than a 56Kbps modem. What is the problem? Doesn't the revenue from advertising displayed make it possible to have a site that works?

              Hmm.... let's see it this way. This guy's been a member for more than 2 years, and has posted 4 messages (that's including today's troll-posts), and he comes up and says in the Lounge that it sucks. It's like having a house owner in your neighborhood who's never home, and suddenly comes to a community meeting and shouting, "You guys suck, this neighborhood is c*ap". Heck, forget the analogies - even if he's entitled to his opinion, we are entitled to ours. :) Vikram.

                        The site is currently fairly responsive from over here. I've seen faster sites, and I've seen slower. With all due respect: I am writing free articles in my spare time, and I am confident they are valuable. All I expect as compensation from you is: a little patience. If you don't have the patience, you can help the site handle it's load by visiting the Codeproject Store[^]. Thank you.

                                    With all due respect. I have never in my life, seen a web site that functions as abysmally as this one. I am seeing transfer rates of around 3.0 KB/sec, or less than a 56Kbps modem. What is the problem? Doesn't the revenue from advertising displayed make it possible to have a site that works?

                                      Worth1000 has one of the funniest naughty word replacemens lists I've ever seen. Small warning: the page contains all the original naughty words and some of the replacements aren't exactly politically correct. Charlie if(!curlies){ return; }

                                          We do what we can with the resources available to us and that's often a balancing act where we please some and upset others. Is the information you get any less useful because you are visiting at peak times and it takes a while longer to download? cheers, Chris Maunder
