Dear Curious, Chemar and Bobbi,

I am unaware of any contention between BT2 and BT1 nor do I wish to start any. I simply what to know the history of the phenomenon of the crash. Since writing my first post, I have accessed a long thread at BT1 in which John Lester apologizes for the downtime, but doesn't explain how it happened and why it took so long to fix. I'd like to know the answers to those questions, either on this board or on the other.

My impression after a bit of research is that since JL has left MGH, he does not have the time manage the site properly. I sincerely applaud him for the charity and compassion which led him to create it, but if, as has been said on BT1, the site, "lives and dies with John Lester", I would rather post on a forum in whose continuity I have more confidence.

JL's posting have been few. The import of them is that his new lifestyle involves a lot of traveling. If that new lifestyle makes it possible that another crash will occur, why not give the BT management to another person or group who can assure its stabililty?
