<<E. Philosophically speaking, if a tree falls on our Web server, would it actually make the site go down? Was it the tree that went down, or the site, or both?>>

Better yet, if no one responds to A@P, ztect, etc., did they really say anything in the first place?

In hyperspace, are the TOU, terms of unuse, prophetically speaking, of course.

Where was that space(ship)(being)(transporter) for the Vote thread? A phaser might have been useful too.

It had to be a conspiracy that it did not crash a week earlier....would have saved a lot of server space, a la, the Vote. <gg>

;)

PS - But, heck, we all got to see a bunch of new error messages. Made my weekend.

PSS - You really ought to fix the spell checker: it does not recognize hyperspace and phaser as being correctly spelled words.

Hold on here.

The deal is: as a general rule, the Flamfoozy are the probers and not the probees.

I'm guessing that the actual chain of events was more like these alternate universe life-form thingies you bumped into were Tharks.

Tharks are silicone (not silicon) based life-forms and while it is true that they are quite intelligent, it is also true that if you showed them a picture of the Mark VII (which I am guessing you did) they uh...recognized it as a Mark VII...and since we use Tharks for baseballs in Weightless Combat Baseball, they decided to skeedaddle.

Just a guess.

Unless you made that whole thing up, in which case forget I mentioned it.

Lorna Doone?

(Which is why we do these things on the weekends, by the way.)

Are you suggesting that it is best for the site to go down on the weekend? Is this because you are not around during the weekend? Why aren't you working 7 days a week,24 hours a day on our behalf? And no, you do not get to count the time you spend drinking Tequila Shots as time spent on work.
