As you may have noticed, we we're offline this morning. This was caused by the "Thanks" plug-in going rogue and using up way too many server resources. This triggered an automatic suspension by our hosting provider as they thought it was a malicious attack. The "Thanks" plug-in has been disabled, hopefully temporarily so I can determine if that was indeed the cause, and take steps to prevent it from happening in the future.

I apologize for the disruption and for any confusion that may have caused.

Those Were The Days

Post by The Sultan of SoWhat »

Here's a sampling of advertisements for watches in The New Yorker magazine of November 26, 1949. (Just in time for Xmas shopping.)
