Hello Brett - thanks for pointing out the mail slowdown. As it turns out, there were problems with Merit's SMTP service on Friday evening: our mail queuing file system filled up, and mail service was out for a couple of hours. Sorry for the inconvenience. To improve performance, we're in the process of moving mail to a new machine with more disk space. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Susan R.
