For those who may like to follow a server plant falling flat on it's face, a good example today is Blocknews/US, which I happened to notice was accepting routing packets but failing to forward them about 45 minutes ago (from the tine/date of this message).
This may cause message 'gaps' around the world, depending on how long it lasts, particularly as this is a rather major server in the usenet network. I'm sure nobody there notices this going on, it being a Sunday (like as if they would even if it was during the week).
I'm watching some message traffic particularly that was originated at Giganews/US, and was being routed through Blocknews, that came immediately to a halt about that time. It will be interesting to see if GN/EU picks up the 'gap' or indeed any other server around the planet.
