OEIS down?

[Jonathan Post]

Today I successfully submitted several sequences.  A couple of them took
between 5 minutes and a half hours for the autoreply email to get through to
my Yahoo account, so I continued backing up (back button in the browser)
after submission, then emailing myself back-up copies cut & pasted from the
preview.  Finally, I submitted a sequence and, though I repeatedly checked
my email, no autoreply was received after over 3 hours.  So I hit the submit
button on the form I'd backed up and kept open all the time, except with a
comment added as to the delay and resubmission.  Within less than 30 seconds
I got the email on the resubmit.

Again, I can't say if the problem is (1) with my browser/PC/modem/router;
(2) with the cable, local loop, Yahoo, internet path; or (3) with the OEIS
server, software, email application; or (4) items (2) or (1) on the reverse
path back from OEIS to my email inbox.  But there's a problem somewhere, at
least sometimes, and Zak Seidov is hardly in my geographic neighborhood, so
it looks more global than local, loosely speaking. How many sunmissions that
I made never showed up, compared to the 1370 already in the database?
probably a very small fraction, but it makes me wonder if I shouldn't have
been backing up all the time.

Does anyone else see this happen, sometimes?
