Thanks for that. Can we get any statistics on the number of hits (as opposed to messages) that your server, or more specifically, this site, gets on a daily basis?

-- Puddintame (achillesg@hotmail.com), November 03, 1999.

Thanks Philip for everything you do for us. Since this post I have reloaded this page several times to see if I would get a SERVER BUSY error. Not one yet....

Again, THANKS

Hey, some regulars and myself the other day were discussing buying a copy of the TB database... as both artifact, proxy and educational resource.

Is that possible? There's some priceless stuff here I'd like to leisurely mull over next year.............
