It seems the cross posting in the newsgroup alt.education.distance is drying up. Also, the number of 'legit' questions seems to be increasing. Maybe AED can become functional again ....
The cross-posting was bound to taper off of its own accord, I believe, and there is some on-topic traffic once again appearing there. The healing you observe, however, I would theorize exists because the infection that preceded it followed the host, and has run into a stronger arsenal of antibiotics. ------------------ Bill Gossett
Is a corpse on the way back to health because it no longer suffers from the disease that killed it? AED is no longer infected by 'factwatcher' because he was successful in driving off those his employer saw as a threat. I expect that he's still checking it periodically and will resume his attacks if it again threatens their interests.
