The AGIS Internet backbone was out for approximately 20 hours,
knocking out thousands of sites connected to the Internet.
Sneezy was one of those sites. It appears at this time (18:30
EST) that the backbone has been restored and sneezy available
again.

As a little bit of an aside; the great thing about an unmoderated
list is the fact that anyone can say anything at all. The down
side is that anyone can say anything at all. Some fine people have
left the list recently due to what _I_ and they consider a very
low signal to noise ratio. There's not a problem in disagreeing
with one another, especially in art; however, ad hominum attacks
and continuing a debate _way_ past the initial arguments and
counter-arguments becomes tedious, boring, and counter-productive.

(S)he who makes the last post does not necessarily win.
