[Clayart] Glad to be back online/read

[mel jacobson]

When clayart went down, I thought for sure
we had been dropped from the server.

Our server is in Australia, and they give us
a very good price to carry us as we are a 'service
oriented site".  To pay full price for a service
like we have is thousands of dollars per year.
`Listserv` now is beyond us by a lot of money. Those
services are used by big corporations and politics
to carry messages every day around the world.

Arnold found this company and He and his Wife pay the
bill every year as a gift to all of you.  We have never lost
service, except for a few hours each six month period.

The money that I collect each year pays me a small stipend,
and pays for my fibre optics here at the farm.  I give up about
two hours a day, every day, 365. It must be cared for. It too
is a gift to you all.

SO I ASK PLEASE. DO NOT LET UNREAD CLAYART POSTS SIT ON YOUR
COMPUTER FOR MONTHS. IT WILL MEAN THEY HAVE TO CLEAN YOU OFF THE
SERVER. THEY HATE DOING THAT, IT TAKES TIME TO CLEAN ALL THAT JUNK.
(I KNOW IT IS AUTOMATED, BUT SOMEONE HAS TO RUN IT.)

IF NOTHING ELSE, OPEN A FEW OF THEM FROM TIME TO TIME AND THEN DELETE.
