Interesting Posts In Google Blogger Help

Even though There Is No System Wide Failure, Bloggers are in shock. This is like any natural disaster; every time earthquake surviviors hear a noise, they think it's another quake. Here, every time Blogger times out, or gives an error message, people think that its down again.

But we still have to analyse, and report, the problems. So, what do you say to posts like these?

• To the Blogger Staff Reading This Group
  
• Damn, Down Again, Is There Someone Smart Enough to Fix This Mess?
  
• It's now Tuesday and Blogger has died yet again
  
• BLOGGER is down. Again. Just as it has been repeatedly for the past three weeks. I'm out of here next month.
  

How to best reply to these posts?

• What is the problem? Publishing (Blogger.com), or Viewing (Blogspot.com)?
  
• Does the problem affect all blogs, or just specific ones?
  
• Is the problem seen from all computers, or just from yours?
  
• And finally - - wait for it - - HAVE YOU REPORTED THE PROBLEM??
  

It almost seems as if some folks live to post

This is getting crazy, anyone else down this morning?

Now I'll admit it - posting this does give me some comedic relief. It's fun winding WG and the others up. But mainly I do this because I can post here, quickly. So, before starting to write an actual technical blog article, in my other blog, I post here, and look to see if this post comes up with these words. If it does, I can tell that WG has her / his head somewhere wrong again.

Bottom line - if you're reading this, neither Blogger nor Blogspot is down. At the moment, 10:00 PDT 13 June 2006. I can't predict 10:05 PDT 13 June 2006 though.
