Comment 5 for bug 1491666

Thanks Timo. Let me, though, and briefly, restate my reasoning about the
network problem: this problem makes it hard - impossible for some people
- to do something many of them will have a strong need to do; therefore,
whatever its origin, Mint should try to fix or work-around it. Compare:
if I run a hotel and the government should provide my electricity, and
yet fails so to do, then, while I wait for the government to fulfil its
obligations, I had better install a generator. For otherwise my guests
will leave.
