New Days
We're back after a major server move. Many thanks go to pogge and Mike Gardner at Duane David Associates for bringing us back live after days of effort.
Here's what happened: the site got hit with a trackback spam attack last Wednesday morning. As a result, we exceeded the bandwidth allowed by our host server company, who are not the kind of folks willing to work with you when such problems occur. They simply took the site down without notifying me.
We're on a new build of the Movable Type platform package that is more spam resistant. There are various other tweakings that will be investigated and we may need to move to another platform, but at least we're back up now, if at a new URL. Let the other bumpers you know that we have a new home!

Glad you're back. I had a heck of a time finding you until I remembered how the Reveres make demands. If anyone would know what happened to bump, they would.
Regards,
Shirt
