Yeah.  Seems that the cron daemon on our clue server died which effectively
shutoff our listserver.  Since I'm the last person who messed with the box
I'm assuming it was my fault, but I'm not sure how I managed it.  I'm still
not convinced that everything's A-OK, but at least messages are comming
through again (albeit very slowly).

Anyway, my apologies everyone.  I've noticed a few messages have come
through that were a day or two old and there may be more to come.  So,
you might want to scan back through your inbox for them.

Oh yeah.  Absolutely.  ;-^)

I'm sure glad I'm not searching for a job right now (knock on wood).  I'm
appreciating the one I've got more and more.

What? Do you mean that test message please ignore isn't a good subject line
for a thread? :-)
