Maybe OT, maybe not, but this got me to thinking....

Will "the server's down" take the place of  "the check's in the mail" as a
new catch-phrase for the 21st century?

Thanks Mark,
    I'm sure CSY is trying very hard to get the server(s) back up, but
perhaps when the server(s) are down for more than a specified period of time
and it is not known when they will be back up, perhaps someone at CSY could
send a message out to this list. I know this is subjective as they could be
down two hours or two days and doing so publishes the fact that there
is(has) been a problem, but I would hope that someone would notify this list
if the server(s) are not up at the close(or opening) of a business day(PST).

                      Thanks again.....Eric Sand
