It appears that Stalker suspended (censored) the Communigate Pro
Discussions list for about three hours as this crisis started (between
8:13 and 11:00 PM local)--precisely the time when people needed
information. I'm resending the email below that never made it to the
list. I will downgrade (temporarily running 4.2.8 until I figure out
how to downgrade safely) then permanently move to Mac server mail when
OS 10.4 "Tiger" server comes out.
It seems clear that the radical shutdown was programmed and thus
planned. Given the lack of information and fair warning, I would
characterize this as an ambush.
