Summary: someone should post a warning about the ihnp4 situation to mod.announce
Xref: mnetor net.news:1994 net.news.adm:661


I consider the problem to be so grave of nature and most users to be rather
unaware of it, that I request - no, demand - that someone 'fess up in a
posting to mod.announce, which will, hopefully, have the effect that people
will remove recommended paths through ihnp4 from their signatures.

I'd consider it a grave failure to the net-community if something isn't done
about this pronto.  This seems to be another case of where "the ones in the
know" are perfectly aware of a problem and able to work around it, but where
the "rest of them/us" are left in the frustration and darkness caused by
lack of information.

The fact that ihnp4 is failing under the load is not really surprising, what
surprises is the fact this educated and enlightened community of "communicators"
seem to be unable to spread the "bad news" as well (it should be BETTER) as
reputation is at stake here - we should do better, really.
