<piggybacking my own post> Oink!

Incidentally, I have seven or so news servers set up (and I use them, to
various degrees, just to make sure my regisrations don't die for lack of
logging in for x months). One reason is to see what's out there, and one
reason is so that even though my primary server is rock solid I know shit
happens, and I don't ever want to be in the situation you found yourself
in tonight. My primary is news.individual.net, but I'm posting this from
motzarella.org. Point: it's always good to have more than one route you
can take to your destination; roadblock do sometimes happen.
