Whether this is peculiar to me or not, I don't know, but I've had intermittent problems getting on the site today. Twice, it took over two minutes to load, how much over I don't know because I gave up each time.
It's not my cookies, I dump them with obsessive regularity. Nor a huge history of visited pages. Just thought I'd mention it in case anyone else has noticed the same thing.
