That's because instead of replying promptly, you waited for Hurricane Hermine 
to flood my house. Server has been temporarily relocated, but for me to help 
around here doesn't look like will be happening much for the foreseeable future.

I'm so sorry Felix.  Were you nearer I'd say "Let me know if there is anything 
that I can do."  Anyhow, thank you for everything that you have done for me.

I'll add my thanks to the expected flood of thankful comments from others 
Felix.  What you have written to many others, and to me, has been most 
appreciated over the years since debian in one form or another has come 
into my life. I do hope the monetary damages are both insured, and 
minimal.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
