Twice with the hack and once with amnesty.

Yup, I give kudos to the lads, they done good. They also did their homework and checked it twice after the last hack. They protected us and we were back up within hours.

Bravo.

So, I wrote to Skinner and EarlG right away asking them why? I got a note back from Skinner saying ..

"Yes, we were hacked. Working on getting everyone back again.

Thank you for your patience and understanding."

-Skinner

EarlG, Skinner, and Elad

I think they're still working on some things.. I just tried to make Skinner's reply an Excerpt and Bold it and it wouldn't work.

I saw on Discussionist that you'd both been PPR'd by the trolls so I'm very relieved to see you're back!

I was one of those who got that Fox news, or something, and then told that my posting privileges were revoked.

And needed a new password. Worked OK.

And... even before I was accepted I had a jury summon. Sorry, had to dismiss this one right now. Too frazzled. Now I can retire for the night.

Phew..

But ye gods! Elad got things fixed up damned quickly!

In desperation I tried Discussionist, but not for long. Gees! That is a poisonous place! No nice folks there.

Thanks to DU admins, we are back up.

As always, my best.

It all went to hell. I had a little come apart in the airport lounge....even my kiddo was concerned. Thanks EarlG, Skinner and Elad. I'll sleep better knowing we're back on track for whatever fresh hell is waiting for us tomorrow. I don't know what I'd do without DU.
