OEIS down?

[Jonathan Post]

And just now, almost 6 hours from original submission, that sequence came
back from OEIS as having been successfully submitted,  to my yahoo account.
Not the revised later one that came so fast, the original one.  Did it go 3
light hours out into the cxosmos, bounce off a flying saucer, and come 3
light hours back?  Google's calculator informs me that 3 light hours = *3
237 758 546 400 meters.*
