great. thanks alot for getting it going again, and for taking out the CVS messages. I think some folks saw a while ago that things were hosed but didn't know who to contact. I'm coping our mail list so everybody has your address. The archive - together with the form for a google search of the archive that we put up on our site a couple of months ago - definitely helps people help themselves, which cuts down on tickets, email, etc. that we have to answer. So we really appreciate having it.
