I AGREE! Especially since they seem to want "Last Call"!

I can tell you that I never anticipated the response that we received. We were receiving far more hits / second last night than I had ever seen before. It was quite remarkable.

There was no "crash". Nothing broke, it was just swamped. It was trying to keep up, but it looks like there were quite a few people working together to slam in as many votes as possible.

I retooled the Total Control code to deal with the stress a bit better. Now we wait until next week to see how we hold up to the onslaught.
