Global warming exacerbated an explosion in the squirrel population, who, famished after a long northern winter ate through our trans Atlantic power cables carrying all important email messages generated by this site. The back up carrier pigeons are all enjoying the free bread strewn at the steps of St Paul’s in London, and didn’t race into action. There is a good chance that if you tried to contact us via the contact forms on this web page over the last month, your message did not get through. I sincerely apologize and am assured that our back up nuts are in place which should avert any more squirrel cravings. Please resend your emails. John Radinoff CEO
