"You must be the change you want to see in the world."
a email (web or pop3) you probably didn't
notice a difference. It only has been happening if you go to the Groups
page and then find it takes a while to load.
Remember, pokey internet response is a good excuse to ride.

ast your rack uses the same bolt on both port and
starboard.
