[Outages-discussion] [outages] FB down?

[Frank Bulk]

If you're saying that the members would like to know every time that that
mom 'n pop home page is down, then I would recommend you start another
outages listserv.

When Jay made the reference to "Web service providers of a Certain Size", I
understood him to mean those who might make Alexa's top 1000, and I think
most of the listserv members feel the same way.

Size does matter.

If he was, it makes my objection all the stronger.

I don't buy the too-big-to-fail, too-small-to-mater stuff at all, no
matter how you package it.

Before we veer off there, I do understand concepts like needs of the
business, priority, and limited resources.

But those should be the results of reality, not the definition of it.
