Gina, and all .. I suspect these email stoppages are kind of like the "rolling brownouts" one might get when there's severe power shortages. It may also, or instead of, indicate that there are major system, network, or internet upgrades or problems going on somewhere along the world-wide Internet "virtual highway." Don't forget just how many millions of arteries there are along that highway! And, please don't forget that the whole Internet/Web complex is in a tremendous state of growth AND evolution AND flux, AND competition right now which will in all probability continue evolving, growing, and competing for the foreseeable future. THAT means this'll prolly get worse before it gets better!! <groan> SO.. ya all hang in there, and DO forget about "conspiracies-against-individuals." (tho perhaps it would be safe to say there ARE folks out to get Bill Gates, AOL, MSN, and some assorted other Internet/computer luminaries, and possibly even against the internet itself! ). Till this all gets fixed, TRY not to go into email-withdrawal-paroxysms <grin>, relax, kick back, enjoy the week end, and keep cool! Love to the whole buncha ya...
