I've found myself very glad more than once when the Cat was down that I bookmarked 'Mudcat Help and Trouble Forum' beforehand. When the 'Cat is down, that's where I go; it lets me know that we're all still alive and just waitin'. And in the meantime, you can learn something on various subjects. The same thing is true of Pip Freeman's 'The Annexe'. I go there more often; it's an easy site where like-minded people congregate.
