will literally be in a hole in the ground most of the week.
And my connectivity above ground is very slow.
Please be patient.

Another one of those little contamination issues at Wildfire, I assume? ;-)

Now the coup d'�tat of Mary Shafer begins...neither Derek or Greg shall
return from their absence, having both suffered unfortunate "accidents".
This is the same way it works in Central America. ;-)

We are moderators 'for life" :-) GdM (Seriously, unfortunately I haven't had a chance to fully set Mary up.)

What problems would that be Alan? That the moderators are real people
with real lives? That the moderators care enough to let you know *in
advance* of a temporary slowdown?

We're in good shape then - as the posts will merely be delayed, not
blocked from getting through.

Which is why we have multiple moderators - we've already had a couple
of gaps in coverage by one moderator or another and you haven't even
noticed them. But this week and the next we have a rare confluence
where Greg is travelling on business and I am traveling on family
matters.

Reading books on her Kindle 2 since the end of February and on her
Kindle DX since Friday. I'm not getting much knitting done, either.
