Well,

I happen to read Scientific American (ok, its Polish edition actually) 
from time to time (say, once per month) and after more than a decade they 
still deliver.

I don't think a marriage analogy covers this case.

I remember old "exi", as I had a chance to read it in it's late period 
(final as it seems). After that something happened to my hardware and when 
I could switch on at least, the Universe was a bit different. So, I hope 
you forgive me (some day) but I say it is my fault. My computer broke and 
voila, all gone. My guilt feeling will be my punishment, if you don't 
mind.

But seriously, this was quite a sudden change for me.

Regards,
Tomasz Rola
