An important announcement:
Upon further assessment I have concluded that this thread has obviously become uniquely difficult to access. Therefore I suggest that the time has come (and is in fact long overdue) to move to another thread. As regrettable as this may be I anticipate unanimous agreement that this is the only reasonable alternative under the circumstances.
And so I am asking everyone who would agree to be a host to submit a candidate from among your questions for our new home. Following a vote on which is most likely to be the safest most reliable thread to carry one the traditions established here I will post a link to the official thread for which this one was hopefully only a preamble.
In the mean time I suggest we meet
here for the immediate future to facilitate the choosing of our new home.
I appreciate every ones remarkable and noteworthy patience, perseverance and endurance and look forward to reuniting us all in what will hopefully prove a much more user friendly environment.
Please feel free to continue to use this thread as you see fit . . . This is
not an eviction notice!
