[outages] MicroCenter.com

[Neil Hanlon]

How is this even close to outages worthy? A single website being "down" for
ten minutes does not an outage make. Nor is microcenter a particularly
"anchor" website to the internet.

Stuff like this can go to outages-discussion, not the main list. I'm
honestly sick of seeing trash like this in my inbox and getting
notifications about it. This list should be used for major events. Not
JoeSmithscomputerwarehouse.com being inaccessible.

Any mods care to weigh in here? I know for many, the main list is something
we see right in our inbox, while discussion is filtered out. I don't think
knowing about tiny events like this is worth mine (or anyone's) time.
