We have had several times when things were painfully slow -- lasting 
about 30 min. each. I reset the router and it did not help. Have not 
gotten a new one. I did reset the wireless channels and that seems to 
have helped, but even my wired connection was being impacted.

Called my ISP and they said they have no issues on their side. I 
*should* have asked if they saw spikes of incoming connections but did not.

In the past when I have had issues I ran a script I made to log ping 
times -- was able to prove the the ISP we were having issues (not tied 
to anyone doing anything to me, just their bad service). It could be 
that is returning -- but they redid wiring years ago for this whole area 
and things have been better. If I continue to have issues I will run 
that ping script to log it and will also look more into incoming events. 
My router offers little in the way of logging though.

But it could just be that. Again, I want to be very clear I am NOT 
accusing anyone of anything -- but it went through my head if Diesel can 
do as he claims he likely COULD do this and it would be a test to see if 
the bot was posting. And if he did this he would likely also do it to 
Carroll... unless he was doing it just to be a jerk (AND AGAIN NOT 
SAYING THAT IS THE CASE!)

What I suspect MIGHT be happening is some sort of DOS attack -- and I do 
not think that would show up there.

There are some errors showing up on my router, but I will need to do 
more research to understand what they are saying. Does point to a MAC 
address which is not any of the wireless devices we use nor SOME of the 
wired devices in my house I have checked. I have not checked them all.

This is stuff I never knew tons about and have certainly forgotten much 
of the little bit I had learned before.

Personal attacks from those who troll show their own insecurity. They 
cannot use reason to show the message to be wrong so they try to feel 
somehow superior by attacking the messenger.

They cling to their attacks and ignore the message time and time again.
