- Nyx is indeed experiencing a *real* dropoff in news. I'm also reading
- news at polaris.async.vt.edu and over the last several days, I've seen
- articles show up at polaris that never make it to Nyx, ditto for seeing
- articles on Nyx that refer back to earlier articles we never saw. People
- are saying "uunet is down, that must be why," but I asked a clueful person
- and they said "if uunet were down, we wouldn't be getting _anything_."

- Blinking ponderously, I admit stupefaction. Anyone?
