Sorry, the search function problem really doesn't have anything to do with the elections per se. It requires shutting down FT entirely for a few hours to synch and rebuild our search function which was caused to go out of wack when one of our servers failed recently. I sincerely hope you don't think we just sit around all day smoking cigarettes and drinking coffee and only get to things when we finish reading the sports pages - especially the results of the horse races (just teasing you). One of the tech guys that was to fix the problem has been out sick for a few days and that's really the problem. And please, put far away from any thoughts that you may ever have that we like it when things don't work. There's a lot of traffic here, a lot of moving parts among various servers and bandwidth and it's great when things go fine, but as i said, there's a lot of moving parts here and on occasion they all don't want to work together.

Thank you for your patience.

Randy
