For those subscribers who get our messages via hotmail.com, please note that hotmail had some kind of massive failure in the last couple of days; all our mail addressed to hotmail was returned, with incredibly baroque error messages. That problem seems cleaned up. Unfortunately, due to a problem with Bell Atlantic, NYU was off the air for a short period today. Once we came back on, loads of queued-up messages Out There came in. So, all appears back to normal. --tim
