we are nowhere.  I got no response from support at dadaimc.org after
several attempts dispite his previous offer to arrange a phone call or
IRC chat, and I've gotten zero response from the dadaimc discussion
list.


I'm developing a rather unfriendly attitude to Dada these days.  On
the Drupal front I'm inclined to basicly start from scratch and
reimplement the test site and do my hunting for our changes that way,
atleast it would get us moving again even if it's from three steps
back. 

The server slowness some people have notices is pretty much entirely
from spam. It seems western mass http://wmass.indymedia.org has
disabled comments entirely to avoid spam, let's face it Dada sucks...
