BAMA Mirror

[Al Parker]

Hi Guys,
    I really don't understand why this discussion is going on.  It started 
out, IIRC, when one guy said the site was down.  He may have really meant 
that he couldn't access it, which happens sometimes when people change their 
browser settings, etc.  I think at least 2 guys said it was working fine for 
them, that points to a user problem, not a server/source problem.
    I do know Ken Grimm personally.  I don't know if he's on this list or 
not, and do know that he does have other things to do besides babysitting 
BAMA.  He may be off on vacation, out of the country, etc.  He does back up 
everything regularly.  He does care.  He does a great job for no pay, never 
asks for $, rarely asks for help (probably has it avaliable locally wtihout 
going hunting on a list).
    BAMA has grown a lot in the last 6-8 yrs.  I know that about that long 
ago all the files would fit on 2 CD's.  I'm sure it's a several times that 
now.  I don't think we need to be guessing about losing BAMA.  Several of 
the BA community know Ken, he's one of us.  And my thanks to him for the 
great job he does.
