OVERALL, November was *another slow* month. Nonetheless, we discussed
many interesting and important subjects (although there was no _one_
topic that we focused on). The galaxy server was down several days this
month and that did not help matters (nor did the fact that we still
haven't seen the return of our headers/post ID system).
In solidarity, Jerry
