As I understand it, among the aioe staff are 
interested Uni Profs, Uni Support Staff, Grads 
and Undergrads as well as otherwise engaged 
students, therefore it's possible that the 
speed of response to overloads, tech downtime 
and attacks may have the very occasional seasonal 
and/or academic calendar dependency.

On behalf of Prof Rosemary and myself, may we thank you 
for noticing...! :))

..btw, after twenty years and more the argonet.*.* 
ngs, including argonet.zfc, are still active and may 
be used at any time, by anyone, with a wish to do so.  

The 'Force' and the Wookie(s), are still among us.  

Happy New Year to everyone!  :))
