Jim, good point. I hadn't thought of the emoji usage factor.

Pavel, the outages are intermittent so "which network" might not matter.

A number of problems occurred yesterday. There might have been problems at the hosting service or possibly a DNS issue if the hosting provider changed recently. Only the Politburo knows for sure.

Brings back (not so fond) memories of the move away from Therapy. Who was that guy who caused all the problems there? Serge something-or-other?

seems like it was attributed to albanians.
 
Yes, I remember that refrain. But it wasn't really 'Albanians' as much as it was a deranged guy who happened to be Albanian?

you’re thinking of Serge Birbrair, who is a Russian, not Albanian, ex-Pat.

The key issue was that on Therapy you chose your nationality when you signed up; the list started with Albania. Lots of scammers/spammers started signing up and were not picky about their nationality which defaulted to Albanian.
 
Serge Bribair adamantly denies being involved in the takedown. On the other hand, his somewhat casual relationship with the truth is amply indicated by his claim that he heard that Joe Dressner confessed on his deathbed that he had been responsible.

What, Joe Dressner was Albanian?
 
That's more possible than Bribair's tale. We Jews come from all over. And WWI did change the maps. All my grandparents, before they emigrated here, came from someplace called Galicia.One of my grandfather's was never sure if the unlisted shtetl he. was born in was, while he was alive in the US, in Romania or Poland. Good luck figuring it out now. I would hardly be surprised if Joe's family could rule out the Ottoman Empire as where Joe's forebears came from. Still, stranger things have happened.
 
No, we're Ashkenazi, not Sephardic. There was an area called Galicia that was made up of parts of Russia and parts of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. After WWI, when the Austro-Hungarian Empire was broken up and the boundaries of Russia changed, what was Galicia turned into parts of Russia, Hungary, Romania, Czekoslovakia and, I think, parts of Poland, though I believe Poland pre-existed WWI.

Not Galicia in Spain?

No. It was a chunk of southern Poland, more or less. The only time I've ever heard it used, in my family history, was this: we are all Litvaks but one of my great-aunts married a man from the south, a Galiziano. There is (or was) a prejudice between the two groups that the Litvaks were smarter than the Galizianos so other family members chuckled at her, behind her back, of course, and referred to him as a "goolie".

My paternal grandfather was a Galiziano, and even among fellow Galizianos they referred to themselves as "horse-thieves." The Northern European and the German Jews disparaged them when they came to the US.

For point of reference, my father was a topologist who had an appointment at the Institute for Advanced Study, so he definitely wasn't a horse-thief.
