Hi John,

We Researchers are just as frustrated as you are, sweetie.  Don't
worry, we understand.

We've been assured that the People In Charge are aware that there's a
problem, and that they're working to remedy the situation as fast as
they can.  With luck, that will be soon!  Hang in there!

Thanks for that advice  Missy, most reassuring. And of course hello 
to you again, Happy New Year and all that after not speaking with you
since late last year.

 John

Happy New Year to you too!  I know you've been around, I've just been
too swamped to come by and say hello!  Forgive me?  ;)

Your daughter is learning Mandarin?  That's quite impressive! 
Speaking more than one language opens many doors.  I hope she sticks
with it.
