Err.. But that's not what the man was saying, not at all.
Oh, and what a great "shut the f**k up or get the f** out" comeback to a reasonable observation (slow applause). After 20 pages or so, it was long overdue

Damn miners, coming here and questioning the operation of a pool they share 3% with!
Next thing you know they'll be questioning the rock as well! Heresy I tells ya, pure heresy!!
But seriously, I think the man raised a valid point. An operation this big shouldn't depend on one man.
"it's just a display issue, will be fixed soon"?
True, but anything could be happening to the pool when stats are down and no one would ever know about it. It's not like they are ever corrected afterwards (or even could be corrected, since coingeek simply captures the real-time values).
So for all we know the pool could go caca-cuckoo while the stats are down and/or the operator's asleep.
Exactly! Somebody with some sense.
