Dave Lawrence (uunet newsmaster (extraordinaire)) identified the problem
with my SYS entry at UUNET.  In email <9212291952.AA28020@rodan.UU.NET>
he writes,

]The basis of the problem is here in the sys file:
]
]>         uunet.announce,uunet.forum,uunet.status,uunet.tech,to.valinor:F
]
]And here in the article:
]
]> Newsgroups: uunet.status
]> Distribution: uunet
]
]The Distribution: header caused the article to not be forwarded
]to your site.  It is arguably one of the most screwed up things
]about network news, and I am sorry to see that you got the 
]short end of the stick about it.  In the not too distant future
]I will be changing all of our feeds around to compensate for this
]relatively common case of a top level hierarchy name being used
]as a distribution.  I've done it for yours now:
]
]valinor/valinor.mythical.com:\
]<...>
]        uunet.announce,uunet.forum,uunet.status,uunet.tech,to.valinor/\
]        biz,comp,fl,misc,na,neworleans,news,rec,sci,usa,uunet,world:F

I would like to publicly thank Dave Lawrence for his diligent detective
work in discovering the problem.  Once again, the employees at UUNET has
taken the time and effort to solve relatively obscure problems with my
site's feed.  Thanks, folks, and happy holidays!!!
