Y!A "We're taking a breather message"...does the "it" refer to my patience?

here's the message... grammatically it looks like they are waiting for my patience (the last prior noun) to recharge:

We're taking a breather...

Yahoo! Answers is taking a coffee break. We appreciate your patience while it recharges!

and it does seem to show up primarily in the heated elections/politics categories

    Most of the time it's because they are bogged down by inflammatory or inane questions and answers. And yes, it does happen alot more in this forum. Occupational hazard type thing.

    * Why the thumbs down? I was not referring to your question, see how sensitive this forum can be?

    Probably because that section is getting a lot of high traffic. I hate when it happens to me but What're you gonna do?

    I just refresh, back button, refresh, back button myself silly until I gets what I wants!
