Concerning the recent down-time of the SDMB, and the exhortation to change passwords–well, when do we do this? I got my original password by e-mail; if new ones are issued, do we check our e-mail messages for this or just click on the hyperlink at the heading of a forum? ---

Dougie: You can just go into your profile and change it yourself. I don’t think they are going to send out new ones. ---

Well. _This_ problem seems to have self-corrected. But I’m gonna move it on over to ATMB anyway, just so others with similar questions can see it. * * * [Change Your Password, Please](http://204.95.48.199/cgi-bin/ubbcgi/ubbmisc.cgi?action=getannounce&ForumNumber=3&Start=2451545.99&End=2451911&Session=2451598.1854) and don’t use HTML, as it has been disabled ---

Ike, remind me never to ask you to cut the cards. * * * But where were the Spiders? ---

Zgystardust, the Spiders lost 134 games in the 1899 season and were, according to Nash and Zullo, “stomped out of existence.” 😃 * * * “If you drive an automobile, please drive carefully–because I walk in my sleep.”–Victor Borge ---

…to be replaced by the Indians. Cleveland has never been the same. Me, I miss the Providence Grays! Now, there was a team. 🙂 ---

I agree, particularly in the case of the 1884 World Series (won by the Grays, but all three games were played in New York City).
