Folks:
Have a thread running on the forum, and from day to day sometimes it's
working and today, it isn't. Forum won't load from "visit topic" link
in the email sent out when there are replies.
Several days ago I tried to use the "or reply from this email" to
provide a reply . . . days went by
usually

a few days later a new kernel was
released . . . a little hard to be "scientific" with so many players
