Hello Ernie,
perhaps the rest of us have accepted the ontological characteristics of
the network with fatalistic complacency
(and periodic trips to our mental consultants). I have certainly

(last month, maybe more), a rather frequent unapologetic "freezing" has
become particularly aggravating. I suspect others connecting from MIT
have experienced similar meltdowns.
