Yeah, Roubini said that too...

Maybe you do, but the forum is still slow. :)

Is this just me or is the forum slow? Pages load slowly etc. I don't think it's just me, because otherwise I don't have any problems with my Internet connection and various other pages load with reasonable speed. I have been watching this forum on and off for a few years and it has always been...
