It appears that both sdcrdcf and cbosgd have been having problems recently
(I understand the latter is fixed).  And anyone who's seen hplabs!Unknown
will know that hplabs has been having problems.

On the positive side, I'd just like to note the following article from
the same site:

After my previous observation, this article followed *EXACTLY* the 
prescribed backbone path.  It never even left the west coast.

Does the man have power, or what? :-)
