Hey Paine
Your efforts at resuscitating the NG are commendable.
But it certainly appears the NG is for all practical purpose, DEAD. The
corpse has begun to liquify, and about all one can see anymore is the
swarming mass of maggots feasting on it.
To make supplication to one of those maggots to "do
the right thing" is admirable but pretty naive thinking IMHO. They're
simply doin' what maggots do.

The NG's sun has set in the manner of Ecclesiastes' "a time to live, a
time to die" (though i would love to be proven wrong on this).
