Our observations, are, while there are always going to be unique situations arise, usually, in a very high percentage of cases (>95%), when a user is unable to make the system work, it is not the system. It is the user. There are a lot of variables (browser being the most common one), but generally the systems are robust enough to manage any amount of concurrent user.
But, as we know, in every case, it is the system that will always take the blame.
What the Dick? Build a better bloody system next time would ya?!

Probably was down. I was merely pointing out, an online site is generally going to take the blame, even when it's the user who is inexperienced.

I'm unclear about the comment. I didn't design, touch, or deploy that system. Was only offering facts from other experience of a similar nature.

LOL, two different kind of dumb.
You missed the point like few others.
Nobody is saying it is not smart to apply some(still no mathematical proof how many) number of hours/days before deadline to avoid system crash.
However it is said (would not like to repeat word dumb) that we should expect system to crash.
But s..t happens,
At least government is doing right thing, honoring deadline and allowing folks to complete their application manually.
And at the end the issue should not go under the rug but investigated and addressed in order to prevent it.
It is not LEH application site only but some others as we can see. What better use of tax dollars you can have .
For those smarter, tougher, better organized , Congrats, good for you :)
Have some mercy on those less fortunate.
P.S. 835 it was funny, still laughing :)
