	To join this with another thread, I think it'd be a Good Thing[TM]
	if the InterNIC were to start up an outage list...it sure would
	be popular.  My only request (should any 'NIC people be reading
	this and taking me seriously, not that I think I deserve to be
	taken seriously too often) is that it be free of advertisements
	(even for NSI) or new payment schemes or /anything/ that isn't an
	outage that affects the provider community.

	But, better than most of us have grown accustomed to expect.  I
	really don't think anybody here is trying to say that the InterNIC
	is now perfect, only that they've improved.
