For reasons unknown to us Mark Hofmann said thus to Gaylen Hintz:   
      
    MH> There have been many posts over the past few weeks.  Hopefully   
    MH> by now all the routes are active so that everyone can join.   
      
    Sounds good to me.  I noticed there were a few posts here initially when I   
   requested the echo but tapered off pretty quick... I just wanted to make sure   
   my connection was still good. :)   
      
    MH> There has been plenty to talk about between the earthquake and   
    MH> hurricanes.   
      
    Unhunh... thankfully we don't get those up here in South Ice, but we do get   
   an occasional tornado. :)   
      
    MH> I guess a picked a bad week to take off work..  Then again,   
    MH> there is no bad week to take off work.. :)   
      
    hehehehehe, I'm in the middle of my week off here myself... with all these   
   chores I'm trying to catch up on.. it just might be a relief to go back to   
   work. :)
