make sure that everyone knows this is likely an act of political terrorism and not LJ's fault, and be patient.

Oh, I've definitely been doing that. I'm telling people at LJ, here and in emails. I've also been asking them all to wait a week or so to try to import, because I know many of them plan to do that. I'm been linking them to your update posts as well.

I have a permanent LJ account so it's not going anywhere, nor do I intend to import. This is my "new house." I don't want it cluttered up by my old drivel. LOL Besides, every entry I ever considered important was written in Word and saved.

It's heartbreaking what the LJ team is going through. They must be absolutely exhausted by now. You're probably pretty tired, too, trying to avoid collateral damage.

Keep the faith...and thank you!
