Admittedly, I'm comparing against an ideal. If I get ungraceful errors
on /., that proves to me that it's not perfect.
I haven't had any problems on ebay before, for example, but maybe I just
don't use it enough. Amazon I've only had a problem once, and it was a
very graceful, localized error.
Gmail I had a problem once, but yahoo email has worked flawlessly for me
for a long time.
I'm sure others have had different experiences, and I don't mean to
generalize too much, but if you ask, I would say those other sites are
in a league above slashdot.
Of course, slashdot certainly gets the job done. If I get some error I
usually don't care much, but I would care if I was making a financial
transaction or counting on email.

Jeff Davis
