Okay, I'm convinced that this news group is not dead.  But then I
never said it was.

I have received countless unofficial responses from Chelmsford
folks the past year.  Things did seem to tail off recently but
I think excuses relating to the transition, etc. are valid ones.
Its obvious from all the internal responses on this question
that Apollo employees are still interested in an "unofficial" way.

In regard to the real Customer Support people, I think we should
count our blessings.  Overall, they do a very good job.  I've
heard some real horror stories about customer service at other
anonymous workstation companies.

Let's move on to solving problems.  I'm alive !  How about you ?
