I'd been offline since Mar 25 for a very nasty reason - popped aneurysm in right choroid artery. IOW, a hemorrhagic stroke. A month in ICU was not fun, to put it very mildly. A shitty local network hadn't been fun either... According to the hospital folks I've ended up neurologically intact, which is better (for me) than expected.

Said state is unlikely to continue if I try to dig through ~15K pending messages in my mailbox; high pressure is apparently _the_ cause for repeated strokes.
