    FORUM CLOSURE TONIGHT (Fri 21 March)

    Please note that the forum will be closed tonight at 10pm for urgent maintenance work.

    The volume of content is beginning to create some complications: we're estimating the maintenance will take one hour - which (we hope) will be nearer the maximum than the minimum.
    It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

    According to the best estimates of astronomers there are at least one hundred billion galaxies in the observable universe.

      Andrew will be busy (and Mark behind the scenes).

              Or Vodaphone, whose website has been undergoing "maintenance" for many months now. Highly inconvenient!

                      He has had some probs with his hand which might have needed an op, but that seems to have been averted. No, he doesn't post - but still looks after the website.

                      Or swap the forum for a Twitter account?

                          Great work by " Team FoR3 forum" () as ever. Its really appreciated.

                          There may be some disappointed folk getting in from the pub tonight if work over runs though........
                          I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

                          I am not a number, I am a free man.

                            Just at the moment we don't know quite how long it will take. The business may well be over by the time they get home. I think the closure message will say 'about an hour' but, optimistically, that may be on the pessimistic side :-)
