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

Thu Aug 11 02:30:17 EDT 2016

The only problem I have with theforge.list is a lack of activity but it's
rocking now. 

I'm betting Terry has a glitch on his end. For example I've been having
problems with my connection dropping and out TV pixelating intermittently
MTA our service provider sent a guy out, not named Larry unfortunately, to
scope it all. We got a new Modem but everything else checked out. 

Still had the problem and finally replaced the Wifi adaptor and viola!
Problem solved, the Wifi card in my comp is dying. However from all external
perspectives it was working perfectly. 

Broken things may look fine.

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..........
