<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> The Listowners need to make an important announcement to everyone. St Johns our host has scheduled an outage for Friday Dec 27, 1996. For all pratical purposes it is effective with this message. An outage means that the computer resources of this List are not available for messages, digest, E-Digest, subscription changes, file requests, etc. The information in all of our reference files is available at our archive site: http://www.fastlane.net/homepages/thodge/archive.htm When service is restored, I will send a message that limited posts can resume. Hopefully, it will not be as long as the last outage. If required, I will send a status update directly to all IDs. I will try to send this update in about 36 hours. The HARD FACTS: 1. Between this and the second message from me on this subject, DO NOT submit any requests to St Johns. 2. Any messages submitted during this time period will be thrown in the trash can. 3. When service resumes, it may be slow for days. Please use good judgement in selecting posts. 4. Please select a destination for all replies. The person or the List, not both. When you reply to both, the second copy often becomes an error that I have to resolve and has an adverse impact upon system performance. 5. Please check with your local providor about about available message storage on your assigned ID. Bounced messages as a result of local full disks increases the workload and slows system responses. ---- Michael Jones ([log in to unmask]) Orlando, FL USA One of the Celiac & Cel-Kids Listowners
