It was more tongue in cheek than anything else Glen. The forum seems to have
decided anamolies at times such as 12+ hour delays in posting and then its
en masse.
It may be the server gets bogged down during contesting times.

Actually, somehow my post got duplicated and sent again by the reflector. I
originally replied yesterday and got an E-Mail back from Kathy shortly
thereafter. Therefore, I definitely was not a day late! Now what is
happening to the reflector I have no idea. However, sometimes I am getting
duplicate messages from the reflector 1 to 2 days after the original message
was sent.
Kathy can verify this.
If you look at the time stamp on the message that you quoted you will see
that the message was sent yesterday. Now this time stamp is Eastern since
you are in the Eastern Time Zone. My time stamp shows 3:13 PM Central time.

Replace the diodes with 1N5408 which are cheap from Mouser and have a much
better safety level than the original diodes. Mouser does not have a minimum
order.

You will have to increase the size of the holes in the existing circuit
board to accommodate the larger diameter leads of the 1N5408.
However, you need to determine why the diodes "went". Probably due to
failing electrolytic capacitors. You can get suitable capacitors from Mouser
at reasonable costs.
