- Thanks, rita. Just as you said that on Dec 22, the e-mail connection
- went out and only today, the 27th, has it miraculously been restored.
- So what do I do with 672 messages? If I delete them, I won't know
- what everyone has been saying about everybody else. Nothing about me,
- I'm sure, since the list has a memory of about twelve minutes, or so
- it seems. Anybody remember who I am?
