Please explain to me the new server. Are we using it now? What is the “Test?” If we’re not using it now, when can we expect it? ---

Another few questions about the new server: 1. Will the administration allow us to use other functions as well, such as “Who’s Online” and the “Calendar”? 2. I pray they keep the prohibition on avatars. Dear Cecil, the Smart Guy not in Heaven, Hallowed be thy column. When in Chicago done, thy will be done, in papers across the nation . . . Tripler Just curious. ---
