This seems like a pretty reasonable response.  Maybe some constructive
solution for the uucp camp might be proposed.  It's kinda sad
princeton is down for the internet folks too, when I'm not sure
it was an internet problem.  When the smoke clears,hopefully the
server will remain, but with more safeguards.  Let's not get too
radical and destroy a service which does have it's uses.  If it's
a uucp problem, point that out when groaning to the powers that be.
