Usenet Server Glitch Angers AOL Customers
from the very-responsive dept
Apparently, for over a week, AOL users trying to post to Usenet never had their messages leave the AOL community. Was this part of the new AOL “walled garden” strategy to cut-off AOL users from the outside internet? There were conflicting reports, but now AOL says it was just a technical glitch. Unfortunately, that glitch went on for 9 or 10 days, with no official word from AOL acknowledging that they even knew there was a problem – despite many phone, email, and newsgroup posting complaints from customers.

Hmmm....
I wonder if that explains the sudden reduction in spam for 9 or 10 days on the newsgroups…
that should explain
the sudden absence of “Me too!” posts and “Can you send me this warez in my email pleez?” posts.
