Just remember, phoaks, that if you bookmark the help site at http://help.mudcat.org , you will always be able to at least get in there to read messages about what may be technical difficulties and/or start a notification thread of your own.Last night, Jon posted a link to a different HearMe in the help forum as Aine's HearMe kept kicking people out. It's a handy palce to have bookmarked.
You should also bookmark the alternate Mudcat, although it was down last night, too. It is http://ragtime.mudcat.org
Hope this helps, crusty curmudgeons and all, including kitty litter spreaders like you, Spaw!
