The reason I was not able to do anything for a couple hours there and couldn’t reply to anyone was that our IT guy who occasionally posts here and I were furiously wiping out spammers and their topics and posts like 10-20 at a time. There were about 750 posts here. Anyway, in the middle of it I either wiped myself out or he wiped me out.
So I was in limbo for a bit and that obviously slowed me down and disabled my ability to say anything here.
