[ADMINISTRATION] Public Service Announcement

If you tried to submit a message to the list on July 15 between the times
of about 11:30am and 3:30pm Eastern Time (US), you may have had your
message bounce back to you.  We had a "disk nearly full" condition, and one
of the system administrators who freed up disk space was unfamiliar with
how the mailing list software works, and rendered it inoperable for a few
hours.

Please send your message along again, if you received a bounce.

I apologize for the interruption; I was in a meeting when it happened, and
spent a couple of hours gnashing my teeth as I tried to figure out what had
gone on.  Luckily, the window of unavailability was small, but I prefer to
have the list up and running 24 x 7 x 365, so I feel compelled to explain
to anyone who received a bewildering bounced submission that you should
persevere.

Cheers!
