Hello All

The @#$%?& technical problems persisted and it turns out that my host server
was moving the same week that my upload server had been sold to some
gigantic behemoth that was promising all sorts of new services (while they
blithely screwed up the ones I actually use). Nothing like your e-mail being
botched so some lonely adolescent can play hockey online or download naughty
bits just that much faster! This accounts for Heavenly Voices, Thea-Tricks
and all the other recently-dated material being out of date. It also accound
for why you will not see updates or new profiles. My apologies, but there is
nothing I can do about this. Things should be solved shortly (though this
has gone on more than any technical glitches we've had since the site went
up...).

That's if the "I Love You" virus doesn't further screw up the situation.
This is not a joke, people. Because I am on various mailing lists, I have
received the virus three times (from people who did not even know they had
sent it to me). For the love of Mike, if you see "I Love You" in the subject
heading of an e-mail and there is an attachment, delete the e-mail
immediately. Symantec is offering a fix for the virus, should you have been
infected, on their web site.

Some people have asked me why, when I have a photo of a profilee right under
the profilee's name, I put the profilee's name under the photo again. When
blind people use the internet, they use a gizmo that reads the text but when
it hits a photo the gizmo merely informs them it is an image (unless a
description of the photo is included in the photo's coding). So, as much as
possible, it is important that at least the whys and wherefores of images on
a web page be explained in a caption which the computer will read as part of
the text.
