<div id="ygrps-yiv-1947575735">well we have apparently survived just fine<br/>
that is<br/>
assuming you can still read this<br/>
<br/>
but the modifications to our bp sandcastling beachscape<br/>
tho long heralded & finally performed in slow motion<br/>
have proved far more comprehensive & multiplex than previously described<br/>
<br/>
first<br/>
as of message 11373<br/>
your attachments are no longer reaching the message board<br/>
& all previoius attachments have been obliterated from the archive<br/>
as fully expected for the past 3 weeks<br/>
<br/>
but also<br/>
& unexpectedly<br/>
nonmoderators have acquired a new flotsam called the group download limit<br/>
of which the meaning & consequences are still unknown<br/>
except that all messages but the advertising interruptions are now replaced <br/>
by the following notice<br/>
<br/>
the message you requested is temporarily unavailable because this group has <br/>
exceeded its download limit<br/>
please try again later<br/>
<br/>
thirdly & also unexpectedly<br/>
the yahoo transmission of your posts as individual email messages has been <br/>
slowed down<br/>
by about a half a day at the moment<br/>
<br/>
i mean<br/>
to those of you who have been provident enough to specify receiving them <br/>
this way at all<br/>
in order to view the new attachments in the only way they can any longer be <br/>
viewed at all<br/>
so for example the fresh peneclave attachment from chris still hasnt landed<br/>
but is however at least still expected<br/>
etc<br/>
<br/>
the fortunate news moreover is that it will probably still be possible for <br/>
everyone who hasnt already done so to entirely undo the future effects of <br/>
the first part of the tsunami by specifying individual email delivery & just <br/>
waiting patiently for all new messages announced on the message board to <br/>
actually reach your mailbox<br/>
whether they had the attachments you were hoping to rescue or not<br/>
<br/>
& the second part of the tsunami can be entirely cancelled by simply <br/>
designating all members as moderators<br/>
which i will do as soon as possible<br/>
after waiting a decent amount of time in case there are any objections to my <br/>
immoderate reaction<br/>
<br/>
which would leave in effect only the third part<br/>
the slow motion email delivery<br/>
<br/>
& that could easily be viewed as an enhancement rather than a pure <br/>
diminishment<br/>
knowing what we do from our previous experiences of the so called brendans <br/>
waves<br/>
including all the excitement of multiple posts & not knowing whether your <br/>
message will ever reach bp<br/>
& badminton sky shots of up to a weeks delay in landing on the board<br/>
<br/>
so i would say thats probably a win win win<br/>
i mean<br/>
assuming you are even reading this<br/>
<br/>
but please do report anything else new you are experiencing<br/>
if you can<br/>
<br/>
