A present to the list

Greetings Saints in Jesus name!

I come to you at this moment, a tired worn-out Sr. Programmer/Analyst.
I've worked that last 25.5 hours here at work and I'm extremely tired.
I'm so tired right now, I don't think I have my normal "wit" about me.
You could say that I'm a "half wit" right now.  Or even nyuk, nyuk 
it a little bit and crake the joke like:  "If Bro. Tyler had one more
wit, he'd be a half-wit!"  If I wasn't so tired, I'd consider a 
chuckle of some sort.

Anyway down to the business at hand.  Once I go back to my parents house
(since home is 30 miles away) to sleep for a few hours, I don't know for
sure if I'll be returning the rest of the weekend to a keyboard, monitor,
modem, or computer to approve the posts that'll come streaming in.  Add
that to the fact that Bro. Richard is "out" right now galavanting around
Chicago somewhere, makes it awfully hard for a continual flow of email
from H-F.

For this reason, I'm going to tell you saints right now that I've sent
the command to the listproc to cause the list to be UNMODERATED until
I can return with more sense to force the list to a MODERATED state.

What does this all mean?  Well, one things for sure, you're posts will
go sailing by *uncontested* and not reviewed by me for approval.  That's 
really not so bad when it comes right down to it.  I just wan't ya'll to 
try and keep a good Holy Ghost filled demeanor keeping the posts down a 
little so as not to flood Bro. Brown machine that holds the H-F archives.  
I also ask that you'll to take much time before posting.  Don't be quite
so trigger happy to get a post off before anybody else.  It also means any
subscription requests, suspensions, deletes will have to wait a couple of
days.

In case of an emergency, and I'm sleeping during the next few hours,
and you absolutely have to get ahold of me.... I'm wearing a pager that
you can send a piece of email to that'll display about the first 160 or
so characters of message text (not subject) displayed in the window.
That pager's address is:

                     2173780470.pager@usamobile.com 

Please I dentify yourself in the message, I'll see the login name of
who sent it.   Like tnally (if myself) or richardm (for Bro. Richard)
as the sender of the EPage mesg.  I'll give an example.  Pretend you
sent this message:

EPage mesg from brian_berger [Hello, Bro. Berger here.  Hey!  I've got a
friend that needs to be subscribed ASAP!  They've got Juno now and they've
done the subscribe command.  Thanks ]

Everything before and after the square brackets wasn't typed by you but 
inserted into the EPage mesg when it was composed and sent out from 
usamobile.com.  You see how I kept the message down to about two complete
lines of message?  That's the way it needs to be if you're gonna get a hold
of me this weekend.

Well, I gotta go..... my eyeballs are about to pop out of my head and 
start rolling around on my desk.... I know that isn't a very pretty sight
or even thought to think about.  But they are desparately in need of some
toothpicks holding themselves open.

Be good ya'll.....  I'll be in damage control after the weekend to find
out all the bad things that have happened since, the UNMODERATION.

Bro. Tyler
