Ah, an excuse to cite my favorite Ambrose Bierce quote: “Patience, n. A minor form of despair, disguised as a virtue.”
Here’s another one: “Despair can be turned to patience with a generous application of coffee and doughnuts”

And, I should add, I have had not troubles this evening (knocking wood furiously. Windows 7 / Firefox 28.0).
Donuts are the opium of the people.
Fingers, toes, and eyes crossed that it’s fixed. Don’t hesitate to holler if things go wrong.
So far, no problems this evening on my end. 
Oh, I received an email from support this morning that they deployed the fix for whatever problem caused the gateway errors.
Indeed, I have had no troubles today, and I thank you again for your efforts.
This is for you:
The Devil’s Dictionary is one of my favorite books.
@cigroller, how unfortunate you were driven to get your own donuts when your friendly admin did not compensate you and your compatriots for your technical difficulties.
