Does Michael Moore read DU?
Edited on Fri Jun-04-04 07:32 PM by Mokito
I remember there was quite a lot of murmur here recently about the somewhat bad streaming of the 'Fahrenheit 9/11' trailer.
Just now I went to take another look at it and guess what, it ran almost flawless (in large mode).

So Michael, if you ARE reading this...PLEASE MAKE THE TRAILER DOWNLOADABLE...PRETTY PLEASE. :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

1. What about mirror sites?
I just wonder if they decided to do that.

2. Why wouldn't he?
He must enjoy reading comments from his fans. And that's us.

4. yes
I do. However, I have no tech skills and so can't "make the trailer downloadable" I'll see if I can't find a techie to do that for you though.

:D

actually, I'm probably not MM, but I'll give him cover and then he can answer and maintain his anonymity. :hi:

5. I think they are realizing the heavy traffic and working to deal with it,
but then again he could read the site. :hi:

14. I sent Moore an email
from my work computer. (risky, I know). Got a nice message back from an editor, David Something...sorry, don't have his email here at home. He'd obviously read what I had written as he asked after my son. (a Marine now in Baghdad).
I think many people come to DU to take a temperature reading.

15. I know Margaret Cho's
webmaster reads DU.

When the Fundies were after her last winter, I sent a supportive email and got a nice response from the webmaster.

:hi: Margaret
