To all:

I'm going to bed. Thanks for the impressive thread-bumping, concern, sleuthing and sanity.

Leave it to helpful FReepers to help me dig for facts and SO QUICKLY track down thefactor. Let's continue to work on the other two, please.

Jim,

In case you're checking this in the morning, the mystery has been solved. It seems the nightmare I was having was not a "ghost in the rafters" after all, but just a "bluebird in the attic."

Couple of possibilities: 1) They only had internet access at work and the company they work for is in the rubble or is inaccesable. 2) They have a freind or relative missing and are simply in a state of grieving and are not in the mood to post.

All I have are bats in the belfry. ;^)
