Apologies for coming in mid-thread, with the server problems I've had

You're quite right, things will be working better than before once I've 
sorted out the current mess.

Shall we have a short discussion over what we all want from inceptionos.org?

My website disappeared, and I've migrated to livejournal.com...

See above, If we need an rsync server running I'll add it the list of 
stuff to set up.
