I suspected a broken link because SAS-L seemed so strikingly quiet (!) during the last days, just like other times with a broken link, or during a SUGI conference. I mainly read (and post to) SAS-L via the listserv web interface, but sometimes I also use Google Groups to comp.soft-sys.sas . It appeares that there often is a synchronization lag between the two (or with other newsgroup web interfaces).

But the relative quietness probably is completely coincidental, due to a lack of questions (or answers). Not that I want that usually huge amount of postings each day............

Regards - Jim.
