Ed informs me that the board has had some sort of hiccup and that it will probably be tomorrow at least before it’s fixed.

Fret not, hold tight, do the best you can – 'cause we are too. And we’ll get through this.

Yep, Sunbear, that’s what happened. The board hiccupped, Ed induced the board to vomit, and now he’s waist high in alphabet soup. But not to worry, he has a million monkeys on a million keyboards recreating the posts. Maybe they’ll make some sense of it.

This _IS_ the SDMB. We have a tradition of board posting glitches and wouddn’t know how to cope with a dependably functional board anyhow.
