Actually I think it was Dale that mentioned it. I have only (so far) used 
Gravity to grab some headers from my regular Usenet Newsgroup server (Power 
Usenet). I've not wandered any further into the minefield - yet.

Something in the food? Or, perhaps in the quantity of same? Did you guys do 
all the prep and cooking or was that on someone else? Any number of things can 
cause your symptoms (in me, at least). I was fortunate WRT sleeping. We were 
soggy - so the big fireworks displays were cancelled. And my place is well 
enough insulated that the occasional bottle rocket or string of firecrackers 
was no worse than the bit of traffic noise that my "white noise" generator 
(jazz on the internet radio at a low volume) covers over nicely.
