I had to resend that message because it was out of the queue days ago. I used the "bounce" function of Alpine, so it kept the date stamp from when I first sent it, 8 days ago. It was down for 12 days, I think. That's not terrible, I guess, because they are hosting us for free and they had some kind of major system failure. It's good to be back. I probably have a backlog of junk for you all to read. Mike > On Tue, Jan 25, 2011 at 8:35 PM, Mike Miller <mbmiller+l at gmail.com> wrote: > >> I guess I'm a few minutes late.
