Not from me.

I DID ask for a reset, so perhaps that’s all we needed.

Remember the good old days when we would just blame everything on El Nino?

Not only are we back on board, we’re zipping around at lightning speed.

**Tuba** , you need to ask for a reset more often! 😉

Guys, the board is now way too fast. I’m getting dizzy. Please make it stop. Now.

Hmm… I guess this means my email inbox will now be flooded with SDMB notifiations again. I’m ambivalent about whether that’s a good thing or a bad thing.

My email inbox this morning: 29 messages.  
My projected email inbox tonight: 120 messages.

See the difference? 😉

Ah well, I wondered what the heck had happened too. Glad it’s fast for now, though…
