I don't think the BookRelay site itself is having problems, but the server it sits on sure is...along with every server in my provider's domain. So someone must be pounding on them pretty hard.

If you are implying that I was less than friendly, then you need to reread my post with a smile on your face. I actually wrote it with quite a friendly intent. I interjected some honesty, and for that I apologize.
