Yep, I hear you IRT the old folks. It's about an impossibility for them to get their savings back unfortunately. Pretty sad indeed. But it's just plain sad for anyone to lose savings through no fault of their own.

So where did all the posters go??? Here it is, another Monday morning here in the US of A anyways, and I log in, and didn't see any new posts. A true bummer!!

And while I'm on the bummer routine... The team I started out with in the DC world has done disappeared it appears.. US-Distributed, which once upon a time was Team SETI USA, which morphed into US-Distributed when more projects other than seti@home started proliferating. One day the website was there, and then it wasn't. Time marches on, or so the saying goes anyway. Rather sad to me to see it fold up. But as I look through a lot of other team's websites, their postings seem to be dropping also. Even some of the really big ones don't seem to have the traffic that they did not too awfully long ago.
