Website

This website is currently served by bluehost.com, after going through 1and1.com, websitesource, siteturn and OLM.net, all of whom turned out to be fairly unreliable. If you have any trouble with kabal.ca/kabal.org, please contact me by e-mail or at dkabal”at”gmail.com if my kabal.ca/.org e-mail is not working. Your feedback is important, especially when it comes to renewal time for my webhost.
