"Random Acts Of Kindness" Offline For Now

A sad bit of news today: I received the following message from Bridgett Schneider, the Administrator of Random Acts of Genealogy Kindness (RAOGK):
RAOGK has been around with our volunteers helping other genealogists get copies of documents required to prove your lineage back to Adam and Eve (giggle). Pictures of your ancestors' tombstones were also high on the lists of requests. I hope everyone got as much service as we were able to give.
Our heart is saddened that we will be offline for quite awhile. Between computer problems (harddrive turning to toast) and the health of the administrator very questionable ... RAOGK, after 11 years, will cease to exist for awhile
