If that's due to security issues, you're screwed, and you're just
sidestepping the issue.  More than likely it's just programming
screw-ups on their behalf.

I'd be more inclined to simply close the browser completely (all
windows, so the program actually exits), and try again.  Next, if
another failure happens, try flushing the cookies, then the cache (as
diagnosis steps as to where the problem probably lay).  I really cannot
see rebooting helping.

All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying
to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.

George Orwell's '1984' was supposed to be a warning against tyranny, not
a set of instructions for supposedly democratic governments.
