• Thank you all for being patient with us this month. Some of the things that have contributed to the current spate of difficulties are: Joe's in Hong Kong. Nancy's the new person in charge. www.deltatao.com mysteriously went away for a while (seemingly fixed). We have a new spam filter from Barracuda Networks (great!). We have a new firewall (stable). Access to the database is currently trapped behind the firewall so Nancy can't get her job done efficiently (upgrade ordered). Web based account services were also stuck behind the firewall (apparently fixed).

Labels in your characters' files override labels in your global file.
