Sorry about that

Sorry about the outage.

It was a suprise to all of us. If we knew about the possiblity of trouble we would have let everyone know.

Hope it wasn't too inconvenient.

Yes, a big sorry. It would have been nice to get a warning so that we could have been ready and it would not have been a big deal.

I'd like to say THANK YOU to Marshall for the e-mails he sent to let those of us he had addresses for know of the site's status, and also a BIG THANKS to Robmints for posting the temporary IP address for the site. It saved my last ounce or two of PRI-G for my little engines. Was really beginning to enjoy the stuff. It stabilized my shakes nicely.

Just wish Admin of whoever was responsible for the outage has been considerate enough of the members to have warned us or given us the temporary settings so we'd be able to log on.

Thanks to Marty (Majorxlr8n) I found my way here. Without his email I would have never found it.

I only hope that all the others board members will somehow find this site.

Boy's and girls, your friendly neighborhood moderator, robmints, is the one to thank. Turns out he is an internet wizard and found us the IP that worked. I don't know how, but as long as he's on our side I don't feel the need to know.

PHEW!!! That other site looked UGLY!
I have also joined Lawnsite.com and altho there is lots of info over there, I do not like it one bit! Bunch of ragging babies that come down on us newbies like a ton of bricks! If you are not a pro in business for 30 years with 50k in lawn equipment, they do not want to know who you are!

Here, it has been a pleasure and seeing the site down was really upsetting! I feel much better now!
