Hmmmm, ... I noticed the BALUG web site (at least exclusive of the mailing list stuff) seems rather/quite sluggish this morning. At least from my ISP it seems like it's BALUG (e.g. loading larger volumes of data from maps.google.com. is quite snappy by comparison).
Well, maybe it's just a "temporary" thing and will be *all better* soon. I don't recall having found it so sluggisn in the past - at least that I recall within relatively recent history.
