01 Dec 01 - 07:33 PM (#601879) Subject: Puzzled From: poet A long time ago I tried to access mudcat and a message came up informing me that it had been terminated. I was then diverted to another website which invited me to pass my sympathies or other comments, which as I deeply regreted such an event Idid just that. I now by accident find that your demise was somewhat premature althought some of the names seem to be missing. What Happenned please. Poet (Guernsey) Ps Ive forgotten how to do the line space thing |
01 Dec 01 - 08:01 PM (#601903) Subject: RE: Help: Puzzled From: Jeri The only thing I know that is even CLOSE to Mudcat being terminated was when the DT was hosted by another company. (Was it IBM?) I believe it was removed when that company got a bad case of copyright willies. Max subsequently stepped forward to volunteer space for the DT, and wound up doing a great deal more than that. This was around '96-'97. I see that you last posted in June of this year. I hope you didn't get the message around that time, because I think you may have been the only one. If that's what happened, its very weird. (Line breaks are <br> but double spaces are just double spaces.) |

02 Dec 01 - 01:58 PM (#602199) Subject: RE: Help: Puzzled From: poet Yes it was around June and it is strange. but its also possible that I did the mudcat.com thing. I,d been scammed that Ihad a virus and damaged my sytem getting rid of it so I had To "FORMAT C" so I lost my History. Thanks for help Still puzzled but what the hell Poet (Guernsey) |

03 Dec 01 - 07:52 PM (#603037) Subject: RE: Help: Puzzled From: kendall if you go to mudcat.COM instead of .ORG, you end up at an earth moving machine site. One of them has 370 horsepower. I only observed that a couple of mudcatters weigh 370 POUNDS. |
