I think it was uga that was down -- there were some postings by Ruth, Frank
and Graham on usenet late last night and early this morning; interestingly,
they have not arrived here yet, but new stuff has started to come in from
uga -- did not check if they are are new or old as I have a lot of mail
headers turned off.

Wish I could have made your party, Natalie, but alas the semester is not
yet over.  I give my only exam tonight and then have it and final projects
to grade.  That is we get for starting the semester after Labor Day.  But
then why do we get all of January off?  Who knows?  So we are the last
school to be finished at nearly the end of May?  I wish I knew the rationale
for the schedule.
