Boaz reported (Cryptics.co.uk [DT 25869]) that he did not post a solution to today's puzzle as his Internet service was down and would be for some considerable time due to a seemingly terribly unresponsive ISP. Apart from one last desperate gasp from Sphinx, this is the last we ever see of this blog.
