Is it exam time or something? The list is awfully quiet these days. I mean,
there were only 190 posts in my in tray this morning...

Hmm... something screwy is going on here... I just got two copies of this
back, and they both took over 3 hours to make the round trip (one took 3,
the other 3 1/2).

This is how rumors get started. To clarify, the list has *NOT* been
moved, and will not be moved without telling you.

I hope my sense of humor is still under warranty...I think I need to do
something with it.

As I explained to Spike, this was just a humorous aside meant as
commiseration with Tim (I think it was Tim) about the low volume over the
weekend.

I tell you it was hell! I jsut had this Weekend my first real free one
for about four months and I was realy in a good mood on friday eve,
answer some posts, make some new Threads form those and stuff. One
whole weekend dedicated to the list.
But what happend? it was so low traffic going on, I can't discribe my
disapointment. I even thought that maybe I had installed something
wrong (new browser + mail). Annyway the #shadowrun at undernet told me
the same, so it seemed ok. Not that I liked that fact.

I mentioned something similar, some post came through doubled, others
came here with a timestamp that was in the future. I figured it maybe
the new browser, but if you had the same pobs, I dunno.
Conspiracytheories anyone ;o) ?
