For those who noticed, the server was being upgraded at 1100-0030GMT last night, and that meant we had an outage. The upgrade was not 100% clean and we may have further outages for a day or so

One of the things I like about the board is that we can express our outrage at the things we feel strongly about.

Never of girls with big bulges in their blouses.

…and look forward to meeting you in Cóito.

Dear Nigel, is there inrage for the contradictory emotion of strong approval? I do like to be in favour of things more than against them.

If I spend my time thinking about the things I'm against I get a sour face and go about with a frown.

I like to go about with a smile. I am delighted by the number of strangers who smile back at me when I smile at them in the street.

Love,
Anthony

You may be thinking about annoyance at print spacing, or en-rage.

Anthony, many things are said in rage, but it is not an opposite in the way that inflammable is not the opposite of flammable.

Hugs

It may or may not be part of your outage, but I can't seem to reply to email from my account. I'll try again tomorrow.

Think good thoughts,

Outrage tends to enrage me.

normal service will be resumed as soon as we find the cause. That was not an expected outcome of the server upgrade! We test most things quickly after an upgrade, and it "looked right", but just doesn't work!
