Hi spamless,
don't blame Jake. Users have no access to each others IPs.
He guessed (wrongly as it happens) that 2 nearly identical posts, submitted at nearly the same time, were probably from one person, and since the first was less than temperate in its tone, and he came across yours subsequently, he replied to you with a response intended for the other party.
I take some blame. I thought the same thing initially, but having checked that you were 2 users, not 1, I failed to point it out in response to Jakes post, leaving him in the dark.
For that I appologise, and I'm sure Jake meant no disrepect to you.
Sorry you're still having performance problems with the site. The wiki is back onlne for me now, having been unavailable most of yesterday. Unfortunately CG is very busy, and is the only site administrator, so when he's not around, there's nobody else who can fix such problems.
We all hope that the heavy site traffic which has caused the problems will subside soon.
Meanwhile, I hope you stick around, and hopefully find things will calm down eventually.
