These, though, were never long-term but, rather, times when Island acted in a truly intermittent fashion. Intervals were usually short -- seconds to a minute or three -- with durations much, much longer. Once such episode took place in mid-summer 2007. Sorry, I cannot provide any details beyond that.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Scott Bryan</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> <DIV>In a message dated 2/14/2010 5:26:52 P.M.
