like now: the gateway between the nntp and http forums has been down since about midnight in Utah...and (if history serves as a predictor) it will probably remain down until a Utah employee gets to work and gets time to fix the problem.. which seems to be the result of the only apparent administrator(s) of the system with privileges needed to fix the problem being in Utah and on the payroll _but_ tending to the open forum's machinery outside of the "paying job", on a secondary priority basis.. my original posting was to focus on those areas where the open community is SO dependent on corporate nodes that if they fail it is really hard to continue 'business as usual' no matter the desire to do so.. imo _some_ movement towards a means for the Community to have more control over the vital communications systems and links is prudent--even if a sale were not potentially eminent.. *or* is there someone on this side of the earth able to fix it?
