Clearly, Carl, you are suffering from the same reading comprehension difficulty as me, and other Toolserver users. We were told quite clearly, four and a half days ago, that s1 will be offline for "a few hours." I'm not sure whether it was "few" or "hours" that tripped me up, but it seems certain that at least one of those words means something very different than what I thought it did. I apologize for the misunderstanding.
This is totally unproductive, unwelcome and unnecessary. Please go away if this is the sum of your contribution to this list.
You seem to be making sarcastic comments attacking toolserver admins for making an estimate an order of magnitude or two about how long the s1 reimport will take. I'm not sure how you could possibly think this is acceptable.
I should remind you that we can't make the reimport run faster, that we are volunteers (at least, in our capacity as toolserver admins), and that when somebody asked how long was remaining, an up to date estimate was given within ten minutes. What more would you like?
