Yeah, here's what has happened, the original Wire manager(Joel Abbot) had run into a major problem, losing everything on his hard drive.

A few weeks later, Joel Tanner, without permission, started up a whole new version of Wire. Whether profits are being made off the new wire, I'm not sure of. But basically the second version of Wire is ran by a guy who has sort of a bad track record with some people.

So, Joel Abbott is back, he came back two days ago, and is back with the original Wire, he sent out emails, and if you didn't get one, I would suggest just asking around. The original Wire is now on E-Groups but still sends out the digest, infact I got my first two today.

They're may be a vote on whether the second version of Wire should stay or go, and a merging of the two is possible, but nearly impossible due to Joel Tanner's(second Wire) inability to be trustworthy towards Joel Abbot, among others.
