Weil M$ ein S*laden ist, wo es drunter und dr�ber geht, und zwar 
mindestens seit Anfang August. �ber deren Versuch, einen Newsserver 
im pr�-alpha Stadium auf die Menscheit loszulassen lachen doch die 
H�hner. Der eignet sich aber hervorragend, um Newsgroup-/E-Mailbomben 
loszulassen, weil den niemand kontrolliert.

Newsgroupbomben fallen den meisten dadurch auf, da� einige Tage lang
kaum internationale News kommt oder die Verz�gerung gro� wird 
(vgl. ~ 5. August). Bei ruhr.de kommen nur noch die Spamcancels an -
�ber zehntausend pro Tag und betroffene Newsgruppe.

 I've been on the phone with someone affliated with MSN/Microsoft who
er meint                             affiliated
 was horrified to hear of the difficulties being encountered reaching
 people at microsoft.com.  He had been in conversation with the "right"
 people at microsoft.com, and not only were they not aware of the mcgatney
 bombing, they didn't even know about the news loop of a few weeks ago.
Gut was? 

 That's more than a little scary.

 My contact didn't have any idea of the scale of the mcgatney problem,
 and didn't know of the news loop either.

 He'll be getting back to me with some better contacts, and I'll copy
 the group on the appropriate ones.

 We desparately need good contacts, because the microsoft.com servers are
 being rolled out "farther" into Usenet, and repeats of the problems we've
 been having would be more frequent and far worse.

 My contact had phoned to tell me of the results of his investigation
 of the mcgatney bomb, and enquire as to my contacts at the true originating
 sites.  When that's a little further along, I'll report some of the details
 on that too.
