yeah, that's fine.  i guess i'm just still sore from when they yanked
the wordpress service without warning, and i had to binary scrape my
content out of the database backup i was able to get.  and i guess we
don't use their mailing lists, so we're unaffected by their list
archive interface which was always atrocious, and atrociously slow.

up when the time comes.
