Is everyone asleep?
 

Is it me or is this forum still in summer slumber?

All other forums are active except this - so I assume its not my connection!

Is everyone asleep?
 

Apologies if its my newsreader...

I am experiencing difficulties only with this newsgroup (even taking it from
several different servers). All groups are live except this? Having just
deleted and reloaded the list from my default server, I now see some
messages in this group.

Strange goings on.

Welcome to the autumn.

As in like the norwegian blue.

Several of the reqular posters do seem to have left the group over the
last year (with the exception of ace) but it should come to life again
soon once people stop thinking of bikes and windsurfing and the like and
get back to concentrating on skiing.

Yep, we're still on the case and waiting for the first flakes...

Welcome to the autumn.

Haven't you heard - there's some sort of economic crisis going on so
nobody has any money to log on, or to go skiing.

Sounds like a slippery slope (with a bit of luck).

Ace,

Have I been asleep or dreaming. I thought you were at Roche? Got a new job
that's keeping you too busy? Or just a new ISP?

Really? Well, _some_, I suppose , if you count around 20, half of them
mine, as some :-)

I think your first idea is valid - most folk are still in summer mode,
despite the season starting as early as next week in some places...

The r.s.* hierarchy is one of the best known seasonal hierarchies.

Neither. Still there, but not using the work email address for
personal stuff any more, as they're cracking down on old emails being
kept, with complex archive and deletion policies, meaning all the old
stuff that I never delete will be, err, deleted.


I'm familiar with these initiatives "fair usage policies". My company have
now banned ".pst" archives (cause too much network loading). Awkward
archiving to for project stuff. Fortunately they let us back up old pst
files to CD.

Still I understand the Austrian glaciers have had a good earfly dump. How
sad: now back in UK the only current plan is Feb half term in Zermatt.
Having always driven, I am now trying to establish how easy Geneva-Zermatt
will be: wife+2 children, baggage, boots and skis. I am ready to man-handle
the bags: my concern is will there be space for it on the train! (I don't
want to waste my first ski day with getting luggage from the station etc as
a rsult of the luggage transfer schemes). Any ideas?
Paul
