Sorry for the inconvenience

What the heck kind of time is that.....

I've twisted every dial and bezel I have and nothing even remotely resembles Australian Eastern Standard Time... if there even is such a thing....

Well, I suppose I could find an old rerun of CSI if it goes off-line..

It is when you get a screen saying 'error' that's the time to start freaking out.

Visa hahahaha, that's funny.

Sorry guys, but I have to do the maintenance sometime.

I did try to give some warning in advance and it was only for 30 minutes or so.

I want to see the look on your face when they change your post count to zero. That will be a fun day for us members.

Sh!t, you can even send them to me in a PM and I'll do it for you

At JJ's house, "POOF!!!" is the sound of wool drying and springing up again.

Just thought it was time to give Michael a rest and have a new name show up on the summary page. He has been there since July 14th.

Damn, Steve. Why didn't you give us more advance warning. I missed the whole thing.

Oops, I just noticed this thread originated a month and a half ago. No wonder I missed it. I was asleep at the time.

I think there must have been a glitch, Steve. I thought JJ's post count was supposed to be reset to zero.

Sorry Ed, maybe with the next upgrade will come with the JJ-autoban function then no one will need to worry about his post count.

If you don't notice any difference Earl, to some extent that is great.

However, you might see a change soon..........
