Amen! Both rutgers and harvard are marked as "dead" in my local adjustments file, which is automatically included by my pathalias wrapper script. I personally think that rutgers should be dropped from the net unless the arrogant "you can't possibly know more about routing than me" attitude is replaced by something more cooperative. Unfortunately, too many sites depend on rutgers for this to happen. If you agree, send mail to Mel Pleasant and complain. If Mel gets enough flames, he just might reconsider. -- Chip Salzenberg or A T Engineering My employer may or may not agree with me.
