When you are testing a feature you want to rely on, and it doesn't work, it
makes sense to complain. Maybe Andrew found the problem when he had an
unexpected network outage, or maybe he was being really good and testing an
advertised feature before putting it into production.

Outages happen for unexpected reasons all the time. Sometimes it's your
own fault, more often than not it's your provider or an upstream provider's
fault. Either way, if an advertised feature isn't working as expected, I
think Andrew's request is totally in line and reasonable.
