- Get used to it. For the past several months, this system, polari, has been
- experiencing periodic lapses in News and Mail. When this happens, Bruce
- ignores it, or at least he doesn't inform us of what's going on. When he does
- deign to respond, it always seems to be in an obtuse fashion, complaining
- about this or that, but never be fully candid about what's up. Last week I
- read his latest post in lobby, and essentially he said he is too busy
- right now to fix whatever is wrong.
-
- That's too bad. Polari is the fastest system in town for News and Mail. If
- polari was on the internet it would be perfect. But its not. Halcyon is on
- the internet with all it has to offer but is slower than molasses.
-
- My .25 worth of complaining today.
