About the Time Warner misfortune

Time Warner Web Pages (Roadrunner) are being phased out by me after at least five fruitless contacts with Time Warner staff. They say: "Sorry for the inconvenience", understatement. Read about it at: http://edhiker.50webs.com/Time_Warner.html

    Edhiker pages and links are listed below - pages published by edhiker are in Bold. Thanks to Time warner, there are lots of dead links, will take some time for me to fix.
