Hooray! I'm back!
Sort of... The machine I usually use (sp-eug) is still kinda wacky, but I did get it to recognize the existence of the Internet again today, so email to and from me ([email removed]) works again. Even better, I know exactly what went wrong and how to fix it if it happens again. Please cease and desist from using the [email removed] address. Hip-hip-hooray! James
