Hi! Roger,

Poor boy.  Them's the breaks.  ;-)

If you think that's a good'un, listen to this...  I'm still signed up with
googlegroups.com, basically because I'm lazy and I thought my situation was
'safe' (sort of thing).  Now, googlegroups used to send me daily
"digests" of NASA posts in two newsgroups which worked well from
March 2010 to September 2011.  (I never used their on-line groups cr#p,
except to config an email tunnel thing into a local echo.)  Suddenly, on 2
Sep 2011, nothing came through the pipeline and I've seen nothin more since
till the night of 29 October 2013!  Yep, you guessed right.  I received _a_
digest, containing posts for the previous week!  Evidently, something in
the plumbing at Google cleared momentarily.  :)

I count myself lucky to have this echo as a primary source of NASA-related
news.  The only time I go on-line for  NASA-related stuff these days is to
follow-up on EwwToob flick links posted herein.

Thanks, Roger.

Cheers,
Paul.
