I live in greater Los Angeles, which should be one of the easier places to get reliable Internet connectivity on the planet, yet I've been struggling with this very issue for more than a year now. Hope you stay connected, and definitely hope that you stay safe! Very much agreed, Ruvy!

It may be user error, but half the time I can't log in. The whole universal i.d. is a good idea, but to have to remember an entire url is silly.
