When I try and access en.wikipedia.org, it hangs when it tries to load
the CSS things from bits.wikimedia.org (if I wait long enough, it
loads a stripped-down version of the site). It might actually just be
a local cache or cookie problem. Let me try something else and see if
it helps. Then I'll stop using wiki-en-l as technical support... :-)
