They're definately up, but I'm not around when these problems happen,

they must do some debugging dance when things go weird.

influential users within the next 24-48 hours, and having the
newly-introduced acronym "AFS" leave a very bad taste in their
mouth.

I guess I should retrench in preparation for that.
