The server that runs the hidden-tech lists had a very high load problem and lost sync between the member database and the list manager, causing the list manager to purge the list -- it recovered automatically. This all happened at 2am on today Oct 4th, so no messages were lost and no one was really off the list. Let me take this opportunity to thank all those who were so concerned they got removed and ask those who emailed me personally to keep hidden-tech questions of this sort to webmaster at hidden-tech.com. ALSO, HELP NEEDED -- we continue to need skilled technical people to help with the various web projects we have -- What we need are php programmers to tackle some improvement projects and assistant administrators who can help others and help monitor the list under the policies of the board. If you interested, join the Webdev list in your members area -- this is for HT Webdev only, not general web developers. Rich the webmaster
