   Hi there -   
      
   If anyone is trying to get ahold of me, try e-mailing me at this   
   address:   
      
   	TracyBarber-at-nycap.rr.com   
      
   Of course, change the -at- to @.   
      
   My web host went kapooey about 5 PM last night and they won't be up   
   until later tonight / maybe tomorrow morning.   
      
   Wonder-____-ful.  :^p   
      
   Not only my business e-mail is there, my auctions info, scans of lots,   
   etc...  Apparently their upstream provider went poof on them and they   
   had no contingency plan.  Unfortunately, when you have bids on items   
   in eBay, you can't change the graphics of the description.   
      
   ... Poop ...   
      
   That started my day and it hasn't gotten any better since.  I can't   
   wait to hear about all the bounced mail and problems with potential   
   business / bidders.  :^(   
      
   I need some good news.  (Don't tell me about GEICO!!!!!)  So, if   
   someone is bored and wants to help out a stranded internet superhiway   
   type stamp collector, send me some good tidings, OK?   
      
   I guess I'll have to do off-line things tonight.  Boo hiss.   
      
   ... Miffed in smAlbany ...
