[imc-maritimes] Maritimes.indymedia.org Problems

[Duane Rousselle]

Hey Nick,

The message was sent to a few different places -- so, hopefully, the 
people who hose the sf server will get it, as well as some techs.  It 
was sent out to imc-maritimes so that people like you could have the 
opportunity to respond.  Is this the Nick from Fredericton?  If so .. if 
you are who I think you are .. you are welcomed to get involved.  
Especially since you have had so much contact with the activist scene in 
your years (and, you've experienced some of the negative vibes as well).

Hope things are well,

Duane
