I am offline, pending an improvement of conditions. This includes tug.ctan.org, www.ctan.org, and az.ctan.org on the interfaces http, ftp, and rsync.

In case I do not come back, I would like to thank the people that I have enjoyed working with over the years. I would also like to thank the TeX Users Group, including the board and particularly including Karl, for their sponsorship. And, I would be remiss if I didn't again acknowledge the support provided by Saint Michael's College to me, and to the entire TeX community, in bearing the Internet traffic.
