... If you insist on so mangling the term, sure. Well, I meant it in the litteral sense - if there's no moderators, the posts simply don't get through. The group's doomed to fail. Oh, somebody asked "where's Mary", but that question hasn't been answered by the other two mods yet. |

The group's doomed to fail. Which, as I said, doesn't represent this situation at all - as there *are* moderators. A temporary outage/slowdown isn't the same thing as no moderators.

Another one of those little contamination issues at Wildfire, I assume? ;-) Pat Funny you should mention that. A VERY real problem cavers are facing (and it's impacting our choice of training sites for the cave rescue training I do) is something called White Nose Syndrome. We're seeing in some cases 90% or higher mortality rates in colonies. No one knows if the white nose is the cause or a result of something. It's pretty bad. So last week I was in Indiana doing cave rescue training. On Thursday we doing a series of "mini-mock" rescues (short 15-45 minute scenarios inside the school building we were in.) During one, to make things a bit more complicated for the students, we suddenly "discovered" a new problem. "Ferno Syndrome" (aka furnose syndrome :-). This particular syndrome apparently attacks and melts the orange plastic used in Ferno and Sked litters, melting it and vaporizing it; thus causing students to have to come up with another route to the patent for evac. Unfortunately, the first evac team brought their litter in through the "Ferno Syndrome" area and promptly "melted" their litter. They didn't make that mistake twice. :-) Oh and yes, cavers do know a certain body part from a whole in the ground. :-) -- Greg Moore Ask me about lily, an RPI based CMC. |

I'm white, I have a nose, I'm scared ****less at the moment. We're seeing in some cases 90% or higher mortality rates in colonies. _What_ colonies? We have cave colonies I never heard of? From now on, I take Alex Jones' "Prison Planet" God-damned seriously. ****, this is Zeta Reticulan Reptile/Dero territory! So last week I was in Indiana doing cave rescue training. First you get that God-damned Dero "Stim" off of them! It's no advantage to have a permanent erection if you are under the control of an alien race! Hell, man, reach around the back of your neck and see if there's a bump there where they drilled the control capsule into your cerebellum like in "Invaders From Mars"! I'd hate to have to send the Marines to kill you, but that may become necessary if you can't dig it out yourself. ****! First OM and Scott Lowther come down with cat brain parasites, now you are under threat of incipient control of something that lives in a cave. I'm starting to feel like "The Omega Man" around here. :-D Pat |
