This just came down on the listowners list. If you are wondering why the
traffic has been so slow lately....
As most of you probably know, yesterday two of the major backbone
providers had serious network difficulties and the Net was just
simply broken.
RootsWeb came through that OK.
Today was a different story. One of the listowner's ISPs is
bouncing her mail in a singularly ungraceful way, and that crashed
our main listserver. We got ourselves back on line, then AOL came
back on line from yesterday and mailbombed us, killing our main
listserver *again*.
We're back up now.
It's possible that some mail was lost earlier today in the mess.
FWIW, days like yesterday don't happen too often so we don't have
many days like today at RootsWeb. Hopefully we've seen the whole
show now and things will settle down. Cheers, B.
