[pct-l] Rattlers?
FWIW
When I've seen a rattler on the trail blocking my progress, I throw
pebbles/small stones from a safe distance at the rattler. I'm not trying
to hit the rattler; just get close enough to encourage him to move on.

Sorry about the long outage everyone. I thought it was the array
controller, so I purchased a new one only to discover it was another PCI
device that was messing up the bus.
So, we now have working lists, friends, gallery, etc. and an (expensive)
spare array card.
