isy.liu.se wasn't in the report either. Neither were two of our downstream
sites. All of us are running C news and I'm 100% sure that a mail response
was sent back (twice, actually) to version@uunet. I looked for other C news
sites I know of in Sweden, but they were also missing.

Is Rick discriminating against C news cites or perhaps his scripts couldn't
handle the terse C news version reporting ``echo C | mail "$SENDER"''? Or
did lots of mail get lost?  The latter reason seems the most likely but
strange, since we connect directly to uunet. Still: why are (seemingly)
lots of C news sites missing?
