As I said a few days ago, I would put the old content back on-line and adjust my .sig accordingly as soon as certain conditions had been met. They seem to be pretty much met by now*, so the old content is back on-line now (with some changes due to the move). Also, my .sig has been adjusted as of now. *I have not heard anything about a name change since DB's latest post, so I will assume the matter has been settled: Brin-L it was, Brin-L it will continue to be.
