Majdi, please lets get something straight. I am a one person
organization. I officially publish a 25 to 30 thousand word
newsletter every month. I have done so since april 1992. I am my

overly respectful of the powers that be.

so complaining won't change a thing

no kidding majdi, let's drop the ad hominum's ok and return the
discussion to the operational status of the net?
