YAMANTAKA : I just got this letter from Mr. Stanley Pranin, editor of Aikido Journal Bulletin Board :
"Ubaldo,

I hope you are doing well. We were badly hacked last week with a denial of service attack and have had a huge headache in that it has been necessary to reformat our server. We are still working on settings and permissions and it is a long and difficult task. Not everything is working yet.

Regards,

Stanley Pranin"

P.S. By the way, I see that I have reached the Number of the Beast (Crowley) : 777 posts...Does that make me the Worst Man in the World?
Or is it just that I have too much time on my hands?

Hi, Ubaldo,
I was also wondering, but given the past history here it seems to be similar.

Thanks for posting Stanley's message.

Yes. I read Szczepan's post and immediately responded to it. (I had previously checked with Stan Pranin and received the same message as Ubaldo.) I then went to the Aikido Journal bulletin board and found it up and running. Hence the deleted post above.

Actually I have discovered from Mr Lindsey that members cannot delete their own posts. I always understood that when you edit your post, you also have the option of deleting it. There is a box you click on the left and then press "delete now". Which seems eminently reasonable--you know, to remove any surplus egg from the face. So necessary in a forum like this.

Apparently you can no longer do this, so perhaps the rubrics need to be changed.

Best regards,
