The article backs up this timeline as well ("The site has been down since at least Friday"). Which do you trust more, the article with the linkbait title or actual facts? ;-)
- xd 16y agoYes, great points. I read the article linked to from the OP and didn't take the time to look elsewhere. I don't generally have time to crawl the web looking for the "facts" for every news story I read and have faith that a story being voted up on HN is based on a reliable source / article. I'm lost to why you felt it necessary to bait me with: "Who said it took days?", you could have just replied with the better sources you have just brought to my attention.
- nbpoole 16y agoI'm sorry. I wasn't attempting to bait you: I've been following this story since Friday, so I only skimmed this article the first time through. When I originally replied to you, I didn't know why you thought it took days. But you're right, my tone was much too harsh: my apologies.
- xd 16y agoNo worries :)
