I have two questions
First - Is there a limit to how many people one can have on their Ignore List?

Second - I live on the east coast, and at about 4:00 a.m. every day I can't get into DU for about 20 minutes to a half hour or so. I've noticed that I can get into other websites at that time though. Is there something DU is doing at that time every night, like some kind of automatic server maintenance or something? I just wanted to be sure that it's something DU is doing rather than something strange my computer is doing.

Thanks in advance.

1. I think I need to get Elad to answer your questions.
Offhand, I don't know the answer to either of them.

2. no problem
I'm not in any hurry. It was just a couple of things I've been curious about for awhile.

3. Answers
1) No.
2) Yes, we do nightly backups and things like that, and it wouldn't surprise me if this caused a little service interruption. 20-30 minutes is a long time though, and that surprises me, so I will see if there's something we can do to fix that.

4. thanks much!
That's what I was hoping the answers would be. Phewww, now I don't have to hang onto that creepy nagging feeling that it's my computer that needs to be wrapped in tinfoil to evade the CIA. ;)
