Off Topic but could someone do me a favor?

[Mail Delivery Subcenter]

Hi Ed,
The reason you weren't getting anyware was that a sudden thunderstorm
knocked out power here in Connecticut last night and I was able to restart
the server around 6 this morning.  My IP is semistatic (by that I mean it's
not changed in about 6 months) so I point a static dns record to it and
that's worked fine for a while. So if you could give that another try asap
that'd be great!
Thanks for your help,
Alex Snow
