Hi, Garry... thank you for holding us together! I was just
about to reply to your first message, but I see Travis has
"survived" yet another down-time episode.
I especially appreciate that list of SURVPC members; I'll keep
it handy for reference and emergencies. (I have very few
e-mail addresses in my Net-Tamer address file and will keep
yours in a safe place.)

That's good. It means we've got a serious enough list going that
it merits your implementing serious backup strategies to keep it
viable.
