- Sorry about that. At least I refrained from using the evil CAPS KEY!!!!!!

- Yesterday was very frustrating. I'm heading off to the wilds of Ohio real
- soon now, and Mom has yet to get a modem. (Let alone a computer) So, we're
- talking imminent serious t.b withdrawal. So, I muddle through yesterday
- morning's offererings (a tad sparse, but that's to be expected this time of
- year),and go off and do some work for a change. When next I check, there is
- *NOTHING* new in any of the groups I had just read. So, I try the first cry
- for help, which does show up in t.b, all by its lonesome. The next one didn't
- even show up.
-
- So, I call the support people here and make the mistake of saying
- "Talk.bizarre" when asked what froup was I having trouble with. Have you ever
- tried to explain just why you *need* to read this group? It wasn't pretty.
- They thought everything was fine, and were going to look into it anyway.
-
- This morning, things are almost back to normal. The feed seems slow, but
- functional.
-
- Whew. A two-day reprieve.
