Greetings from the Luddites.

We chose this opening because our server has been down until now, and it suits our feelings.  Internet withdrawal can get ugly, fast.  We have no idea what’s going on in the world and by the time we catch it, it will be time for the signoff.  So we’re off now to read your comments and see if anyone’s brought news to us.

Thanks for being here, apologies for the blackout.
