Just curious...

I sent PM's to two individuals, including IEunuch, over a week ago (nothing terribly important), and received no reply yet. I don't want this to sound like a 'pay attention to me' post, though. Just wondering if the system is working for me

No it is not. Drusilla the Wicked Witch to the North has placed a hex and a curse upon you and your PMs. Why would anyone pay attention to someone who sends PMs?

I don't know who the other person you sent a PM to was, but IE probably gets a couple hundred messages a day from various people concerned with the Archive. He doesn't have time to answer them AND to keep the place up and running.

If you want to test the system, send me a brief message and I'll let you know that I've got it.

Yep, kinda figured it was a busy-ness factor. A couple hundred a day? Yikes.

I really didn't want to sound... oblivious up there. With traffic like that my next obvious question should be 'what can I do to help the archive' rather than whether or not a function works.

I know its probably time and effort thats needed, but is cash for bandwidth an issue as well? It seems you guys run this place as a labour of love more than anything but can we as users be helping to pay the bills?

At least I know who to thank for my vicous flare-up of hemmorhoids. Drat that damned Drusilla! Tell her to close-up her aim with them curses, would you, Krister?
