Can't help it, I have to share. I was doing some Boogling or Ginging, whatever we call it now, when I stumbled across a really scary bit of advice. It's just frightening what's out there.Be nice. I just had to share.
It's frightful.
Slightly redeemed by the advice to "use a professional", as any professional will tell you to follow none of the rest of it.
Of course, the poster's profile makes the claim that he IS a professional...

There's a nice hospital well known for assisting the sanity impaired there too, if I remember correctly.

I just had a fun one. Told someone that they shouldn't run Backup log with truncate only as it breaks the log chain. So they reference an article that they say refutes what I'm saying. The article they linked to is one I wrote.😀
Hahahaha! That is priceless! You can't create comedy better than that.

You have got to be kidding me! Did alphabet soup write that article under a pen name?
I didn't post s comment, the existing comments make it clear to future readers to RUN! So good job on that.

A little funny for the day.I was having problems with the internet yesterday (and SSC). Then, later, my SO was responding on another forum to someone else who was having problems too. This was the post and his response. I thought y'all would appreciate it.

It's not worldwide, but the Internet performance problems you've observed are presently unique to Europe and related networks. Due to recession, the Greek marathon runners that hand-carry packets between Mediterranean network nodes are operating only at half duplex. This means that upon reaching their destination, instead of carrying another packet back to their point of origin they return empty-handed. That configuration requires a second marathon runner to be despatched from the point of receipt to the point of origin to transmit the ACK portion of the network traffic, thus doubling the effective time required for communication.
Pppft. Ack and you shall receive.

My dear friends, I finally have the definitive answer to the question that originated this thread.
NO!
They're not getting worse! This is what they kept getting until today. Now they can only get better.
