I’m updating this post because as many of you know (thanks for the emails and Tweets) LA Snark went down again today. We’ve emailed GoDaddy countless times and their reply is always something like “send us a traceroute report” and “looks like the problem is with your computer.” Yeah because all of Snarkville is sitting around sharing the same laptop.
