Hallo!

Die folgende Mail habe ich an den europaeischen EUnet-Verantwortlichen
und an den amerikanischen Koordinator des UUCP-Mapping Projects ge-
schrieben (das deutsche EUnet hat eine Kopie erhalten). Da der Inhalt
auch die Netzgemeinde betrifft, hier der (naturgemaess englische) Text
der Mail:

Hello!

I'd like to make a complaint.

To explain the background:
Our University was a customer of the (German) EUnet until 31.12.92. Then
we changed our provider because of the tremendous rise in prices and the
bad service. The German EUnet has the responosibility for the UUCP maps
u.deu.? - there is no other institution to ask for a non-private map
entry. Our sites "fub", "fubinf" and "fubmat" where registered in the
u.deu.3 with a link to "unido" (the UUCP name of the German EUnet).

Now, in the u.deu.3 released 22 Jan 93 16:27:48 GMT all three entries are
deleted - without *any* notification sent to the postmasters of these
sites. This means that from one day to the other mails to the three hosts
will bounce with "unknown host" and nobody has had the chance to avoid
such confusion by establishing of another UUCP link to a well known UUCP
site.
I think it is a serious abuse of authority to delete map entries without
notification and this behavior shows that the maintainer of the u.deu.?
is not able to seperate his (commercial) EUnet job from his (voluntary) 
tasks as a map maintainer who should work in the interest of the UUCP
community.

Es ist wohl kaum notwendig zu sagen, dass wir ueber das Verhalten des 
EUnets extrem ungehalten sind...

Tschuess, Vera
