To: Ultrasound Daily Digest I think the subject pretty accurately summarizes this message. Well, here goes anyway: > From: Shadow Of Fear > > Hello? Is the digest still published?

I'd *like* to be able to do this. Unfortunately, I often don't know the ^&@!#%&$ thing is broken until way too late myself. For example... I really shouldn't know the digest is broken until Monday morning. I just happened to show up at work late Sunday night and noticed nothing had been sent out since Friday. (No, I don't like to call in from home. I see computer screens much too much already. :) Hmm, a problem. Ok, manually kick the digest in the butt, then figure out what killed it *this* time. Feh. (Still working on that last part, too. This crash is pretty weird.)

I'm normally a devout cynic... like now. Until I get the latest bug worked out of the system, I'll try to manually send the digest out each night so you folks will have something interesting in your mailboxes each morning (or whenever, depending on what part of the globe you're sitting on). No guesses on a fix-time, though. Keep mailing in, though. Eventually you'll see your post again. :-) (Or should it be :-/ ?) -- Dave ddebry@ debry@ \ DeBry dsd. peruvian. | "Who do you think you are, Bjorn Nitmo?" es. cs.utah. | - Bjorn Nitmo com edu / ------------------------------ End of Ultrasound Daily Digest V1 #53 ******************************
