back to life (mostly)

[Al Viro]

	I'd been offline since Mar 25 for a very nasty reason - popped
aneurism in right choroid arthery.  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.  So what I'm going to do is
	a) delete all pending mail
	b) ask people to resend anything important that would get lost in
process.

	If/when I end up kicking the bucket (which looked like a very real
possibility for a while during these weeks), as far as I'm concerned hch
inherits the fun job of holding the hordes of morons off and keeping VFS
alive.

Glad to hear you made it.

Tone down work. Focus on family an friends - don't get stressed. 
I myself was hospitalized for several weeks a couple of years back, due to 
a severe case of colitis ulcerosa that came close to killing me - which my 
doctors told me was triggered by stress (and now a cronic thing I have to 
wory about), so I can somewhat relate.

Glad to have you back, but seriously, don't risk your health on your work.
