unclear on the concept

Curious as to whether my pensions broker had any online means for me to investigate the state of my pension, I had a look at their website. Sure enough, there was a link to Pensions Online. So I clicked on it. And I got:
Site Unavailable

Pensions Schemes Online is available Monday to Friday from 8am until 8pm.
Er. WTF? Do you people not understand THE INTARWEB?

Most of the Web-based student services at my University - a school famous for its computer science program - have business hours. Some (for instance, the service undergrads use to register for courses) even require appointments.

That is awesome. Do you think someone has the job of loading up the proper site when they come into work, and then switching it back when they leave at the end of the night?

What if that person is sick for some days?

Man... so weird....
