It depends how you define "major".  Twice last month oddjob receieved
very large hiccups of old articles.  One seemd to be from the west
coast and one from the east.  As far as I could tell, each hiccup
went several hops to get to oddjob and never passed through one of
Spafford's "official" backbone sites.
