Did you miss us
?
Trust me, we
missed you.
Our absence was a
case of everything
going wrong, that
could go wrong.
Working with
Earthlink, we
attempted to
switch to a more
stable server.
The process was
supposed to make
top5s.com
unavailable for
twelve hours.
That was last
Friday.
Now, it's
Tuesday, and it
feels like we're
starting all over
again. I
apologize for any
problems our
absence may have
caused you.
Please let your
friends and
associates know
that we're up and
running again.
Thanks!
