Hi, Rod,

The status is basically that I'm very busy looking for a job right now, at
the same time that I am meeting deadlines for a job that I have, and I am
basically spending no time maintaining the B-Greek archives. It is very easy
to post the messages that have accumulated in my mailbox to the archives;
the difficulty is in (a) sorting through all the messages to make sure that
I'm not including private messages, which can take significant time, and (b)
setting up the mechanism I was using previously to automatically archive
each message as it comes in.

Right now, I'm spending no leisure time in front of the computer, since I
just have to get away sometimes. This isn't a permanent condition, but it
probably will last for the next few months.

I can ask the B-Greekers if anybody has a sanitized version of the posts
since June 17th, and post what I receive. At some point, I'll set up the
automated archiving (everything on SunSITE changed, and the way I knew how
to do it is no longer available because they tightened up security).

Jonathan
