Thanks, but I didn't hold it together for too long, as evidenced by my little memory lapse beginning around 10:15 that day. I also had to get off the computer and call relatives and friends out of state well before that time. Other people kept the thread going.
I do remember trying to get back to FR later in the day and it was moving like a crippled snail because of the sheer number of people on board. Thank God it stayed up, though, I think I would have flipped out altogether if it had gone down for any length of time.
Damn....its like getting hit in the gut just reading it again. FR was the only source of news that day while I was office bound as no other sites would load.
