Hey everyone,
Unfortunately the server blew up and we have had problems with a corrupt backup. Consequently, we have had to restore from a December backup. Not great - sorry about this!
Wishing everyone a happy and prosperous new year.
KM

Are you kidding! December 4th!
We had achieved a Grand Unification of sacred and secular. We were about to see the solution to Global Warming. ...all that great writing, from pithy to voluminous, and from humorous to insightful; that can't be gone forever, can it?
...new people, new Topics, new revelations....
It all that lost forever; or are they working on the corrupt stuff. Even if it's not usable, can it be posted somewhere for us to browse through?

Never mind-- we can do it all again--- but BETTER-- after the insights we had attained, the decisions we explored and the general brilliance of our conversations (now perhaps providentially) gone forever.
Here's to the 2008 enlightened S-a-Go-Go--and don't forget NQS too.

I hope benito reposts those "light" summaries; they were great. All the briliiance of those new folks too; I hope they have originals on their home computer. I often compose ofline and then copy onto the post. I may have some of my posts "saved." If others do also; please look for an opportunity to repost them. I also enjoyed the "camphor tree" thread way too much. That, I'm afraid, was a unique experience that will not be recaptured. ...iseldoff, alanejackson, polo, Mar., and Cur., and others too.... ...shock, denial, anger... what are the 7 stages of grieving... p.s. thankfully, not less pessimistic; or it'd be 6 month, and not just 6 weeks, lost. ...any chance of seeing shreds of the remains?

If someone knew a lawyer, maybe the server folks could be encouraged to see the moral and ethical benefit of spending the extra time and effort to retrieve as much as possible (often up to 90%, though unformatted and disjointed).
Is identifying these server folks forbidden by contract?
A good deal of promotion and praise could be generated on the web, if a company so impressed its patrons.

Am I the only one to find that this board is far less disjointed, that the postings are now in their correct boxes? I am afraid while Kate and Co: were on their holiday break the postings became indiscriminate and placed anywhere. Similar posts, upon the same subject, often finished up with two separate disjointed threads. Chaos...not a good example for the newbys on their school hols. It showed us all up. Nothing is really lost apart from time. Lost postings are still in the hands and mind of the writers, it can be written again sometime. The board is far cleaner and box/neater now, its up to us writers to keep it that way, with a little help from Moderators?

There may not be a personal God, but this seems to demonstrate that the Devil--the spirit which divides us from our good--is for real, eh? However, I do believe that, "In all things GØD--the spirit which is beyond things (physicalism) and persons--can work together for good." BTW, talk about interest: I think there were over 170,000 clicks on the "Philosophy of religions..." thread. Dec.4, the count was 79,000.
