[TheForge] theforge host, mailman.qth.net is braindead

Wed Aug 10 23:56:53 EDT 2016

Well guys, I don't know what any of that means.
Seriously, what the hell are y'all talkin about?
(the above is a rhetorical question. please do not answer.)
Does anyone else have a problem sending or receiving e-mail
from qth.net (TheForge)?
It seems that Terry is the only one with this particular problem.
You know what that means..........
