For the past while I could click on a comment or a diary, go brew a cup of coffee – sometimes I could have run to the store, bought coffee, came home and brewed it – come back to my computer and read articles from the Washington Times while waiting for Redstate. And my favorite was writing a detailed comment hitting publish and… well, you know.
Today! Wow!! A whole new world. 
Erick, thank you for the kind of leadership that runs us out of bandwidth and bogs down the hardware. And today, thanks for finding the new hardware and migrating Redstate. And Neil, I’m sure you had something to do with all this and if you didn’t, well there’s a pay cut in your immediate future.
Thanks again to all who had a hand in this morning and for the good and exciting things that I just “know” are coming.

Erick that's just a load of smelly stuff.
mbecker908 (Diary) Monday, August 17th at 10:53AM EST (link)Neil, etal may have done the work, but we out here in the sticks know that the reason we need faster servers, etc is because of the leadership you and the Directors bring to the site.
You have well earned a pat on the back. Enjoy it. If traffic ever drops off you’ll get the heat so enjoy the upside we’ll trust that very soon the current servers will crash from increased volume. And we’ll need RS4.0.
You’ve done well. Every orchestra needs a great conductor.

Great job.
Oh, and how come MY diaries aren’t on the new Rec List?
That had to be tweaked
Neil Stevens (Diary) Monday, August 17th at 10:56AM EST (link)On beta we had to make the recs last longer for testing. We haven’t set that back yet. I hesitate to ask the guy who’s been up all night and all day

Wubbies World (Diary) Thursday, August 20th at 11:47PM EST (link)The web site is working beautifully!
I remember the bad old days of the mess before the election. We had to go through the desert before we got to the land of milk and honey. Lets see if we can max out the bandwidth with some more growth in readership.
A compliment and a testament of your fine work.
