Okay, it's really fixed now. I'm almost sure.

The nice folks at Earthlink installed some new server software which didn't recognize the default index.cgi call that I used to make to this board. Now, all the files on the site have been updated to make a direct index.cgi call, and the dreaded "Forbidden" error message should become a thing of the past. If any of that makes sense to you, you're spending too much time futzing with your computer and not enough time surfing and writing.
