<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>Hi All -<br>
<br>
I've mostly been lurking, but I did want to pop my head up to mention that the
long-standing abandonware site "Home of the Underdogs" finally
succumbed to hosting troubles on Monday (the webhosting company went bankrupt)
and is probably gone for good. The preservation community is that much
poorer for it.<br>

RIP HotU.<br>
