[Dega-sysadmin] Re: Paranode and Media files

[christopher mitchell]

I'm sorry - I think I could have been more clear.
We turned the media server off... it is now being used again.
So please use it =)

I figured this was probably just something that was done without realizing it 
- which is why I sent the info to the whole list.  I hope everyone 
understands the importance to using the media server whenever possible.

So I hope all the tech's on this list can talk to the feature-writing crews.

thanks - sorry for any misunderstanding
