I have to disagree that this latest "outage" has done any harm whatsoever
to the list, Schnozz. If something as minor, transient and unavoidable as a
temporary disruption to service shakes out a few fence-sitting types then
all the better--from my point of view that's not terribly different than
deriving collateral benefit from one of Ben Franklin's proverbial fires.
As for Oben . . . I look back on that strange episode as "the good ol' days."
Say, anyone care to talk about Jeeps today?
