Apparently ,your calls to the KGB / Interpol / FBI / CIA / ASIO / PINE GAP / Homeland Security /MI5 / MI6 / North Korea / Mossad / Langley / Pentagon / NORAD / International Space Station ....and other places too ' secret ' to mention ..!! ... like Kunama's ' fall out ' Bunker .

They get ' recorded ' to you know

If you check IIS on Facebook there is an explanation as to why it went down. Not very nice, a little more sinister than a hard drive crashing. I even had my 47 Tucanae post in the Beginners Astrophotography section stolen!

Excerpts please!

Some of us steer a wide berth around Facebook.

Sinister? This is what was said:

We’re currently experiencing an unscheduled outage due to a failed hard drive.

Apologies for the inconvenience, we’re working on it.


Not very sinister.

Sorry, I must have been reading the wrong explanation, I'm glad I didn't quote the rest of what I read. Anyway, all is sweet now, these things happen.
