I tried to read Opera general response and unavailable Att: Franc

[Guest Dan]

I noticed that the Opera general newsgroup web site is not currently

available. Is Google sites down again. It certainly is turning into a

cloudy day from the blue skies and the current outlook is not that great.

Please stay tuned for future updates. If you say huh to all this then never

mind because I like to mess with people's heads and cause confusion

sometimes. <grin and it is my way of keeping it all a game>

BTW, et. all, is this notice in regards to all the annoying software bugs

floating around or just cloud computing failing again?

Hi Dan!

 

The link you posted *did* work for me ......... but took me to posts dated 2005! Very mysterious!

 

However, here is a link to recent messages:

Addendum:

 

I came across this facility a while back

It might be useful to you if you ever wish to check if a particular web site is working.

As that is a newsgroup that site may not be able to check the headers

properly.

Not at all. Google Groups maintains an archive of all newsgroup

postings going back to 1981. I was just pointing you to an old post of

mine.
