"Refused" means that you got there, but the page is unavailable.  That's
distinct from not getting a response, and a "refused" transfer is NOT a
problem with the server.  Its an issue with the owner of the content you are
trying to access.

There have been problems with the Web server that handles OUR internal pages
(NOT customer VSERV accounts) for the last few days which result in *hung*
connections.  We are working to resolve these, and we know what the problems 
are (there are two distinct OS issues right now).  Both are expected to be 
fixed in under a week, and until that time we are monitoring the server 
for problems and trying to restart affected parts of the system as it
arises.

If you don't want to be a part of this kind of "meet point", or you aren't a
provider, then this is uninteresting to you and frankly, I don't want you
involved -- you bring nothing to the discussion and are only going to be an
annoyance to those of us who DO run providers and who DO have an interest in
a Chicago-area exchange point.

If you are, and you have ANY concern for YOUR CUSTOMERS, then you darn well
ought to be there.  People have bitched and complained (rightly so) about
midwest routing being silly for a long time -- we propose to FIX IT once and
for all, and this is the thanks we get.

Sheesh.  Now you know why sometimes I would rather not bother trying to help
the community.  Jerks like you, Steve, are the reason.

BTW, for those who care we *do* have a number of positive responses to this
proposal.
