I'm not sure exactly why but this weblog is loading extremely slow for me. Is anyone else having this problem or is it a problem on my end? I'll
check back later on and see if the problem still exists.

I'm amazed, I have to admit. Rarely do I come across a blog that's both educative and amusing, and without a doubt, you've hit the nail on the head. The problem is an issue that too few folks are speaking intelligently about. Now i'm very happy I
found this in my hunt for something relating to this.
