| If you've ever searched the General Forum's archive, you
might have noticed that a few posts were missing. Ok, more

For the few of you who venture in there on a
regular basis, I hope this is good news. It sure is for me, as my back is
aching from several months of self-flagellation. Thanks, Joe!
