Well, I thought something was up. I though a few sites have been a little slow, and email to some people was taking especially long. Well, I now know why, that is the fact that the WorldCon err WorldCom owned UUNet is having some problems, but there is no clear reason why. Some believe it is Slapper worm, others think it is a fiber cut. Yet others think it is router misconfiguration. Either way, this could reasonably be expected to continue in that WorldCom (Geez, I just have a hard time resisting putting an N instead of an M) is in serious financial troubles, and if there is no one paying to keep up those lines and trunks across the US and the world, then the service disruptions could easily be more frequent as their troubles grow, and worse if they fold.
