Hello Michiel!

** On Monday 17.01.22 - 15:33, you wrote to me:

Methinks that you would need to ask Janis. Google revealed her  
@gmail address quite readily at a Synchronet-based BBS.

In the last few weeks she announced frustrations in getting a  
replacement pc operating. Meanwhile, maybe a completely  
different matter (ie. family|health) arose and became a  
priority. Give her a break.

Now it sounds like you would need to ask the elist-keeper.  ;)

There is no point expounding on maybees and whatifs. You know  
how to contact people directly if you want.

Perhaps ask the elist-keeper what he knows.

No point in dwelling and rehashing the past either.  Onward and  
upward.
