Hello to Everyone,

Some of you and of us are complaining abt the delay in the posts. Well, I have 
noticed it for abt 2 weeks. A mesg has been sent to the Admin ML at QTH.NET and 
you know what ? My post has not reached the Admin ML ;o)) !!

Anyway, some other mesgs have shown up and here is one of them.
Just hope this one will reach the SOC ML.
Now, attn Ian, I think I have 2-3 words to say to you ... other email will 
follow.

72!
Claude

Eric,

We have been hit with a denial of service attack for the last 10 days. 
Directed at mailman lists only. I guess somebody is really mad at the 
system, and is aware of how it all plays as they are coming at us from all 
directions. Below is a minute snippet of the logs showing the frequency of 
the attack. What this does is consume out bandwidth and the real messages 
are delayed or never make it
