Speaking of pings, what has happened to snakefiddler? If she's gone
away and not coming back, that's interesting to me in a curiosity sort

She is (or was) in college, so my guesses would be:
the campus server is near capacity and newsgroups are low priority (happened
here; I only got a couple posts a day until they installed the new server)
she graduated and no longer has "free" high-speed access
she is too damn busy with her dissertation, grant, etc to spend any more
time here

Whatever the reason, I bet we haven't seen the last of her.
