That's the kind of thing I mean. Rather than everybody scouring around 
looking for outages lists to repost to their own internal newsgroup, why 
not have BCNet do that with this newsgroup? I'm sure they are already 
subscribed to things like SPRINT's outages list but many people may not 
know such lists exist, let alone how to join them.
