I have been ignoring the various flames on this subject, waiting for
the noise to die down, but I have to respond to this...

Our system has not had any problems with mail or news. The problems have
been in the upstream system, run by a guy who basically doesn't have the
resources to support it. We have since cut him out of the news loop
altogether, and will also be connecting to uunet for comp.*.amiga and mail
whether or not this goes through. We are also upgrading sugar with a new
'386 system.

*WE* have operated a stable, working, system for much longer than that, Kent.
It just took this many outages to convince various administrators to feed
us directly.

Yes, the recent note asking for some unknown *other* system to fix their
map, which you sent because the system next to ours (who is now out of the
loop) was dead.
