Miles on Movies has been lost :(

I am sorry to say that "Mad" Miles' ongoing thread "Miles on Movies" has been accidentally deleted by my assistant. We are not able to restore it. We have reviewed our internal procedure and training to make sure this doesn't happen again.

I hope Miles will accept our deepest apologies, and will continue to grace us all with his eloquent reviews of movies that have special appeal to our community.

I have archives of the digest going back to July 2005. It should be pretty trivial to write a program to go through them and retrieve the posts, no?

Patrick!

You go guy! I would be eternally grateful. Barry sent me the last three digests that I've contributed "M on M's" to. I was waiting a tiny moment to repost.

But what we lost were the discussions about my little commentaries. Clancy, Dixon? I miss you guys. And anything I composed online, and tweaked here, without backing it up.

That error, is on me. I have most of the first two or three years. My few recent efforts? Since I started having to get up at 4:00 a.m.? And thankfully for six months haven't had to. I got complacent and didn't archive them on my CPU and backup.

If you can make it happen? SWEET!

In a private email today I told Barry, we're all just chaff on the river of time... But it's nice to have a record of our float pattern.

If anyone went to the Wake for the current incarnation of The Rialto, I, and I'm sure others, would be interested in a precis of how it went down.
