Good news and bad news
The bad news is that we pay for internet usage here, and in the last two days of intensive play on b7_rpg I've used up over 10% of our month's allocation--go over it and it's big bucks. My playing was going to be severely curtailed when I went back to work anyway due to time zone problems, but it looks like I'll have to be very careful and limit Vila's appearances there from now on.
The good news, for what it's worth, is that I will have more time for my neglected fiction and backed-up e-mails.
