I really hate getting into flame wars, but I am interested in data 
about this last event.

You say "it is the same issue, just a different flavor".  I am 
wondering if you meant the problem Tuesday morning is the same problem 
you had weeks ago, or if the problem you had weeks ago is the same as 
the problem you are having with Overture / Yahoo / SBC?  It is unclear 
to me exactly what you meant, and "Details are Important". :)

If you honestly believe you had the same problem weeks ago that 
everyone else experienced Tuesday morning, please give us some more 
information.  I do not believe Akamai has ever had the type of problem 
experienced yesterday.
