Mr Tullet,
I think it would be nice if you could perhaps despatch a flunky with a news update now and again to give us progress reports as you proceed.
Maybe even the odd time of completion estimate
On that subject how will we know the job is done and the site is stable? e-mail?
I pose the question as these things seem to end with the site going up and down like a tarts knickers as the project nears its end and a speculative login might result in an ungracious expulsion

Mr Tullett,
I wish you well with your endeavour. Mind you if the machine is doing all the work presumably you will get plenty of naps in...?
I wasn't sure from your post whether the "live" job was being carried out on the higher-spec machine and therefore a quicker transfer or if we have been fobbed off with the slow one?

TullettJ,etc - why so much aggression ? I merely suggested a writer be concise/
precise so as not to waste posters time reading useless information.

Abbie2u:
I don't think there was any aggression from TullettJ.
Such aggression as you may have received from other posters may, perchance, be the usual response to someone on a bulletin board that sets themselves up as the arbiter of style and taste on an informal public medium. Here, as elsewhere in life, you will find the concise, the pompous, the windbags, the intelligent, the stupid, the informative, the ignorant, the amusing, the fascinating, the dull and all shades of grey and admixtures of the foregoing.
Tolerance, within the limits of decency and la politesse, is usually all that is expected of you.
I commend it to you.
Regards
MM
PS: And beware: always check your spelling and punctuation -- the board harbours a number of members of the Lynne Truss Admiration Society :)

MM, that was far, far too long/verbose/rambling... I am a recent ajren convert so let me rewrite it in the right style:
"Many people here. Be tolerant/decent/accurate."
Jon of course would have avoided a lot of trouble if he had merely posted:
"MoneyAM down until Sunday sometime/probably/whenever. Sorry."
Too many words wastes storage space, bandwidth, and electricity in displaying them and I commend this style to all posters.

MM, I must agree with Kayak.
Your proclivity for verbosity could, in the words of Dan Quayle, "lead to unclear inarticulate things".
