It's been quite a day - topped off with a mid-afternoon data server failure. Regretfully, I was unable to work my usual gonz-magic to recover the data in a timely manner, so we had to revert back to a 2am backup. I apologize for any inconvenience or breaks in the awesome conversation here on the forum. Any questions, shoot an email to [email protected] --or-- [email protected]. - gonz

We are deeply hurt by your carelessness. You may redeem yourself by putting your entire inventory of Fuente SG and Ashton VSG up for bidding.

I have unrecoverable damages due to the downed server. Free cigars would ease the pain. ;)

Yo gonz: I don't think it was a single data server failure I think there were at least two maybe three data servers involved, quite possibly a data server conspiracy. If I were you I would call for an immediate Congressional investigation. In the meantime to keep your mind off your problem you could keep busy by sending me alot of free premium cigars. Glad to be of help. Your Friend JonR

I've been irreparably, mmmm, damaged. To avoid my attorney (doesn't everyone have one nowaday)writing you his typical mean guy letter, send free cgars now to avoid costly expensive law suit. Yeah, that's the ticket!

The only thing worse than someone whining is listening to a real grownup whining about someone whining. My bet is anyone offered free cigars will take them, myself included of coarse.

Slimboli - I think they added the sentence beginning with "Additionally..." sometime after our posts. I remember reading the message without that comment.
