You're lucky; this place was down for the better part of a day today. But all is well now.

Maybe I should make CG an offer.  :lol:

Hey simon.  Please select a different Avatar.  Old people have a hard time disassociating things in their feeble minds.

N00b didn't change his avatar quickly enough for my tastes, so I changed it to one I thought appropriate, given his former choice.

I suspect it is gone for ever. CG wrote me that the damage was devastating, implying that it would take a lot of work to set right. We already knew that HN was a liability for him, and not a high-priority project, even when it was running. I doubt he has the resources or will to rebuilt it at this point.

I guess we'll see.

I keep checking every day or so.

*sniff, I miss the place*

Even though it was in it a near death state.

It was like visiting a nearly dead relative on a daily basis.  You love all that they were at one time but still hate to think of them as being gone.

Old enough to know better.
Apparently not wise enough.

Well, if CG resurrects it, we will make it a better HN.

You can always rely on SAF for... SA.

And Ivan, a perfect lush, of course.
