Re: COMMON site down..

[Aaron Bartell <aaronbartell@xxxxxxxxx>]

Not to side with anyone, but Don, Pete has a perfectly valid point.
It costs time and money to do a backup site and as I understand it
COMMON is acting with about 1/3 of the fulltime staff that they had
last year.  I am hoping COMMON will confirm some numbers like that so
we can gain understanding of their situation.
