Yeah, yeah, we know. The US store is DOWN

Once again, our breath abates as the Yellow Sticky Note of Undetermined but Certain Excitement has returned once more. The store is down. We do not, however, know why. Once again, we thank all of you who have written in. As usual, at this time of night, it's probably periodic maintenance–it happens–but if something big shows up, let us know. We love to hear from you, even when it's just a quick "OMG OMG THE STORE IS DOWN" note.
