Obviously, Spooknet / warmfuzzy, or whoever your hub was, hurt your feelings. I'm sorry about that. Next time, maybe don't write that Spooknet is dead, but that Spooknet is dead to you. That makes more sense.

I have no beef with warmfuzzy. Sure, Spooknet has a history of interruptions and currently doesn't have outstanding traffic, but for me it's not dead as long as Warmfuzzy or Roman publish an interesting article every now and then and the infrastructure is running. There are a few other FTNetworks to mourn, given the low post throughput, but that's another topic.
