Seriously though, I wouldn’t be averse to ATMB being a thread both about the _technical_ aspects of TMB, and the _personal_ aspects of TMB. _Just_ server problems and illness/death? That would be a little weird, though I suppose it would be fitting in a way. But I’m not going to lose any sleep if it doesn’t happen that way. ---

Wow, **Karen** , 44 posts in 8 years. You should really cut back on your posting. Seems like the start of an addiction to me. 😃 ---
