I sometimes think it'd be a Good Thing if the Internet dropped out of
the mail and news routing business. It'd give people an incentive to
fix the long-standing problems with UUCP mail and the black holes in
the UUCP maps.

I usually think this after some bonehead agressive rerouter has managed
to get mail I sent to California bounced off a site in Czechoslovakia.
I've, reluctantly, given up keeping a full set of maps and started
relying on the Internet to handle routing outside of Texas.

The rest of the time I'm quite aware of the negative consequences of
this event, so don't bother reminding me of them. Oh well...
