   Interestingly, a problem that was happening ....

Good route, good traceroute, good ping....

But a GET /  into port 80, hung....  to yahoo.com,
excite.com.... google.com.

  It was sporadic, it would come and go.... mostly gone, but,
it would recover for moments....

  It repaired itself/was fixed, and coincided with shutting down a UUnet feed,
at almost exactly the same moment as when you posted your message....

Serendipity ?
