I brought this up to Tom C. a few days ago and he said unfortunately this is the price of doing business as the web site gets bigger. I felt he had the situation under control. Am sure Mr. Clary will chime in to explain.
Not a bad idea to have limited access to profiles - other sites do it.
Not sure what i would do if this site went down for even a few seconds, er minutes, er hours.....
Kudos to the folks who watch over and protect our beloved site!
