I still wanna know what "bonk" was about.
If I may pose a more specific question, it would be:

who put the bonk in the bonk screen?
Had the screen shown me
"service not currently available,"
I could have understood that and not taken it personally.

Instead, when I tried to link to the log-in screen --
never mind actually logging in --
up comes blank white all across the screen except for
the upper left corner which has      bonk      in it.
I mean, that's what happened two days ago.

Whence this bonk?
Is it a part of the Mudcat mechanism?
Was it put there personally by a computer person?
Was this person our own Mudcat Max,
or was this done WITHOUT Max's say-so?

fine, Call me paranoid --
like the Fear-Mongers' Shoppe
on the Prairie Home Companion.
