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.
