is keeping our Atlantic DUers off line. Could that be it?


(Or have I just drunk too much coffee, making me relatively speedy?)

3. Could be Isabel...
Could be all the young'uns have gone back to school and are no longer at their leisure posting all day.

Could be folks are in intensive care wards all over the country being treated for 2nd and 3rd degree burns being inflicted over at GD.

4. You're Right
Over 4 million without power on the East Coast. The flamers in GD are reduced to using megaphones and morse code on flashlights.

Check it out.

Courtesy of GregW. He posted it a while back and I kept the link. I just hope I'm not running up his bandwidth costs.

On Edit: I believe the Admins provided him with a list of DUer cities.

8. I'll not pass it on. But it's my wallpaper now.
Would still like to know how many DUer's a smiley face represents.

11. EarlG said it was just contributors, and prior to the last fund drive
so not all of us, but probably pretty representative.
