I see no reply to this. Your message came in sometime after I moved off of
email it looks like. Looks like I did an all nighter 16-17 and answered over
a hundred and that was it for the rest of that month. In March I did
a few to help out when I could... Let's see... rumage... April 19-21 was
the major recovery. I worked ~50 hours and answered 350-400 emails to swat
the backlog. Then the 23rd was another banner day and things leveled out.

But the folder had been messed up so badly in my absence that we couldn't
tell what had been answered. We did the best we could be I *know* number
of emails were just never replied to - basically we worked until we hit
diminishing returns. Most people resend the question after a while or call,
or just figure it out, so in the end we trashed what was left of the munged
folder.

The person who took over from me completely fumbled it and we didn't know
how bad it was until I had some time and when back to help out. That was
when I found the folder in complete dissarray. He was quickly replaced on
email by Theo and I helped out and basically did the recovery. Theo was
later augmented by Gryphon, which is how things stand now. The other
engineer has not been with us for a number of months now.

Yes, it looks like this was one of the ones lost in the wreckage.

BTW, there is no way to track it really. You just have to do periodic
shows on the port and do the math on the I/O figures.
