Sorry about the downtime :-|

Hi folks,
Sorry about the down time.
There was some HW malfunction that caused the server to crash.
Apparently this was the cause for the downtime last week too.
I really hope it's behind us now

i was trying all day to get on and was wondering what was going on but thanks for the info

Since we're confessing to malfunctions, I want to confess to a brain malfunction. Somewhere in this forum, I had mentioned nitrites and nitrates, which are compounds of nitrogen and oxygen. Nitrite is the more reactive compound, but i think it has two oxygen atoms rather than the three that I had originally thought. If I'm wrong again, maybe somebody will correct my correction. It's a good thing I finished chemistry class forty some years ago, because it would be impossible now.

Conclusion: This forum has a much better administrator than it does a chemist.

I wouldn't count on it
