I have yet to recieve anything from hackers since 5 am this morning, Eastern Standard Time. This includes all the people blindly responding to my "PING" causing me to get current and questions traffic galore, their responses being cross-posted to all three lists. The argument that "hackers is slow" is bogus (I think) because of the bulk mailer stuff. Sean says that my area of the net was unreachable to him for half of yesterday (though I didn't see any list interaction problems myself). Is anyone getting any of the stuff I sent as being mailed from hackers-owner rather than from some other route? I mean, if we are all going to talk about a "PING" message that was pretty much meant to be ignored 8^) anyway. What is the failure threshold for a list kick? Maybe it auto-kicked me?
