  It took me a minute to figure out your reply...then I looked at the
subject line.

  I got very little sleep last night, and had to go to the Emergency
Room at 5am this morning, with severe foot pain (I thought I had
fractured it), and severe rectal spasms (I thought my butt was on
fire).

  It turns out I had an attack of gout (I already have arthritis all
through my body), and they gave me some medicine for the spasms. But,
I didn't want a renegade storm to come in while I was gone, so I had
shut the BBS down. When you tried to get in this morning, the system
was trying to run a message base utility, and that's why it said "you
have no time left".

  I'm trying to get the system to busy itself out to run the nightly
doorgame maintenance, but it won't do it. So, I have to take the BBS
down manually. I did see an email from digital man (Rob Swindell), the
author of Synchronet, but I haven't gotten to it in the QWK packet yet.
The thing is, during maintenance, accessing an item (message bases,
file areas, or doors), can corrupt things big time.
