Hi, Daryl!  Recently you wrote in a message to ARDITH HINTON:

AH>  I gather you've been having one of those weeks...
AH>  as have we.  I notice also that Mark Lewis has
AH>  stepped in to offer help.


          Then we had another of those weeks, and once again Mark Lewis stepped 
in to offer help.  (Thankyou, Mark!)  Is that "history repeating itself"??  :-Q



DS>  I saw a whole slew of messages from you in my packet,
DS>  and am just now getting to them.


          Bless your heart... it looks as if you answered all of them too.  :-)



DS>  I'm normally not up at this hour, but during nightly
DS>  maintenance, one of the routines was making a screeching
DS>  audio sound (I'm glad the headset mic was hooked up for
DS>  the speakers)...and it woke me. But, I did a few tweaks,
DS>  and was able to stop it, without having to reboot the
DS>  system.


          After which you were thoroughly awake & needed to work off the excess 
adrenaline, I suppose.  Glad I was able to help... [chuckle].



AH>  While I could go on at length, I want [to] ensure this
AH>  message actually arrived somewhere before commenting
AH>  further.

DS>  Yeah, it got here OK.


          I remember the occasion.  It was also a comedy of errors.  Just after 
I'd posted in the E_T echo, our mail machine crashed in a spectacular way which 
took quite some time to fix.  Later on I tried to contact Janis's BBS, using my 
own computer, to find out if she got my post... but her system didn't appear to 
recognize my password.  Reposting was the quickest & easiest remedy there.  :-)



DS>  I was just surprised to see a bunch of messages from
DS>  you in my packet.


          I'd say they were old messages... but since you've just written +/-30 
more recent replies, I'll have an abundance of new material to work with.  :-))
