In the future, should there be a problem with FM's domain name, keep this alternative FM-status URL handy:

FM is back up for me too (West Coast USA).

What makes you think that that poster is any particular specific gender? Surely "person" would have been a better noun?

Ah, I had to think about that for a moment, partly because I didn't recognise "Stouffer" as a food brand and thought at first that there was some sort of weird philosophical device (ironically like eg Occam's razor) being described.

I have the same problem with so-called "sharing" packs of snacks...

I thought about that after I posted that, that some or most here might not recognize that brand name.
