it happens to me too professor, it is nothing to do with you and how many comments or upvotes you do. The system is straining because of all the new people and at certain times of the day it is unusable for the low bandwidth people like us (i'm usually down 8 hrs a day)... The good thing is that it seems to work in the evening very fast (I'm in NC), so I prepare my post for the day while its down and then do other things. Then when it come back on, then I get back on it... You can check the meter to see your bandwidth at www.steemd.com/@professorhobo ... Try to hang in there and not get too frustrated because you are not alone in the frustration. I hear about it from many, but I always tell people to look at the bigger picture.

That was a good link you sent me yesterday, thanks!
