You are quite right.  Perhaps I wasn't clear.  Perhaps Wolfgang wasn't
clear.  He announced in this newgroup that he was cutting off his
downstream sites from getting or receiving certain newsgroups.  Did he
personally inform the site administrators of those sites that he was
doing that, allowing them to find an alternate feed?  Fine.  Or are
people at those sites going to start wondering why their messages are
suddenly disappearing into a black hole at wsrcc?  Not so fine, and
the source of my original response.
