It appears that my version of nntpd spawned a bug in their inn
news server in regards to sending the same article over and over.

uunet noticed this, and corrected this early Sunday morning,
but then they went down around 8 for maintenance.  News started
flowing again from and to uunet via nntp early Monday morning.

I know they go down every Sunday (I was using them as my primary 
namesever, now I use another site) which is a pain (I'm not quite
sure why a news machine would need to go down every Sunday -- we
don't backup news -- that's what nntp is for (grin)).

At least with multiple nntp feeds, we still get a good percentage
of the traffic (nntp operates in IHAVE/SENDME mode where as sites
compare headers prior to sending articles (in ASCII) to avoid 
duplicates)..

	I called UUNET up myself on Sunday.  UUNET is usually down
until 2pm, but this Sunday it took longer.  I spoke to Eric and he
said they were performing a System Upgrade.  This would explain
things.  It went back up at around 8 or 9pm.  It would be nice if
they would have announced it on uunet.general or some such.

On Sunday Dec 20th, UUNET will be reorganizing its local ethernet
layout to better handle increasing load.  In addition, UUNET will be
reallocating the IP addresses for some of the production hosts.  This
reorganization has forced the normal Sunday dumps to be pushed back by
two hours, so they will start at noon Eastern time on Sunday.  As
usual, UUCP customers will be unable to transfer files while dumps are
occurring.

Additionally, after the dumps are finished, there will be additional
time during which UUNET will be unreachable while the actual re-wiring
and testing of the new network organization is performed.  During part
of this time period (which should start at 3:00pm EST), AlterNet
connectivity may experience several small routing flaps.  No routing
problems should persist more than 15 minutes.

When the reorganization is complete, UUCP customers should not see any
functional differences in service.  Customers who use TCP/IP to
communicate with UUNET and use the nameserver (BIND) to resolve
addresses should have no problem communicating with us.  Only people
who are using hardwired IP addresses for UUNET hosts addresses should
have problems.  Given that DNS has been widely deployed on the Internet
for over five years, this should not be a problem.  If your hosts are
not using DNS at this time, we strongly urge that you switch all your
computers to use DNS for hostname resolution.

Dave Lawrence (uunet newsmaster (extraordinaire)) identified the problem
with my SYS entry at UUNET.  In email <9212291952.AA28020@rodan.UU.NET>
he writes,

]The basis of the problem is here in the sys file:

]
]And here in the article:

]The Distribution: header caused the article to not be forwarded
]to your site.  It is arguably one of the most screwed up things
]about network news, and I am sorry to see that you got the 
]short end of the stick about it.  In the not too distant future

I would like to publicly thank Dave Lawrence for his diligent detective
work in discovering the problem.  Once again, the employees at UUNET has
taken the time and effort to solve relatively obscure problems with my

 If the Village Voice counts as mass media (and it does to those of us who
spend a lot of time in the Center of the Known Universe, aka New York City),
they'll probably be covering Internet-related issues a lot in the near future.
In mid-December they replaced their "Tube" column with a double column feature
collectively titled "Wired", which covers all aspects of electronic mass
communications. They've got one columnist who deals with the technical aspects
of the media, and another who explores the human interest angle. I haven't 
seen an article devoted specifically to the Internet yet, but it's the sort of
thing which would be ripe for coverage by this sort of feature. Both columnists
have Internet e-mail addresses, though I haven't got my latest copy of the 
Voice here to pass them on.

Hello All,

I am compiling information regarding the historical distribution of 
Atlantic salmon in Lake Ontario (Prior to 1900).  Atlantic salmon 
were once very abundant in Lake Ontario, but were extirpated about 1890
through a combination of dam construction, deforestation, over-fishing,
and water pollution.

Our group here at SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry has
recently initiated a research program for restoration of Atlantic salmon
to New York tributaries of Lake Ontario.  As part of this project,
historical records and literature are being searched in an attempt to
describe as accurately as possible the historical distribution of salmon
in these tribs.

Any information, in the form of diary entries, old photographs, oral
tradition, local history books, or any other source would be most helpful
and greatly appreciated.  This information will eventually be incorporated
into a graduate thesis, and all sources will receive acknowledgement.

I can be reached many ways:
