Matthew and I spoke to someone at xcelco on Tuesday about me not being able to get onto the newsgroups, and although he tried a couple of things he couldn't figure it out either. So we were told that when his superior came back (later the same day or the next day) we would hear back from him and hopefully he could figure out what was going on. Yeah... that didn't happen! :o/
Yesterday I sent off a message to xcelco expressing my frustration and my not being happy with the whole situation or the fact that no one bothered to contact us even though we were told it would happen either on Tuesday or Wednesday. It wasn't exactly an email (I never did get an answer to the one I sent last week when the newsgroups first became unavailable to me), it was "send xcelco a message" on their website, so I have no idea how often (if ever) they check those things)... but I still didn't get any response.
I will *try* calling them in a few minutes, but I'm not sure if anyone is even there on the weekends. If not, I will be calling them on Monday. This is a major pain in the butt!
Anyway, I hope this works (never tried posting on this before) so I can at least read what's going on... and actually post something from time to time if it does work properly. Since google changed things a bit (from when I was off-line and needed to read the newsgroups through here), I haven't even been reading the messages through here... it looks a lot different than before... so I have a bit of catching up to do which should keep me out of trouble for a while. ;o)
Welcome back to anyone who went away before I lost the newsgroups. Congratuations to anyone who has had an anniversary, birth, or any other joyous announcements... including finishing a project, of course. Happy birthday to anyone I missed over this past week.
Peace! Gemini
