This was spot-on, especially the "always and inevitably everyone underestimates the number of stupid individuals in circulation" part.

I'm hoping that this is just a coincidence

Yeah, it's loading slower than usual today. One time I even got the "We're having some trouble serving your request. Sorry!" page.

I use the Wayback Machine extension (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/wayback-machine/fp...) - if a webpage no longer exists, the Wayback Machine will give me an archived copy of it.
