[From Rick Marken (920505)]
Just a test to see if any mail gets through. I haven't seen things
this quiet in a long time. Makes me realize how important it is to
have Martin Taylor around.
Have a happy cinco de mayo.

I don't want do downplay the importance of Martin Taylor, but the
listserver on which CSGnet depends was not on-line Saturday and Sunday.
This happens whenever the listserver's machine starts to run out of spool
space (where not-yet-read-messages and files are stored) since the
listserver sends lots of message, many of which end up on the spooler and
take up more spool space. So it shuts down until space clears up (sort of
like a control system).
During these times, messages sent to CSGnet are not lost, just delayed.
Since this hasn't happened to often, I believe it is a tolerable situation.
If it happens with increasing frequency, it may be a good idea to move
CSGnet to another site where this wouldn't be a problem (I could still be
list manager).--Gary
