Valid points.  You're right, it's not the MX records, it's the fact that
there was a little glitch on destroyer (and I suppose .mi.us doesn't have
the .mi.org rule that you have more than one feed).  True, Msen has a
business responsibility where UM doesn't, though UM has been very kind and
considerate to its feeds, considering.

>free UUCP feeds business, especially in the parts of the state

You may be right, Ed.  That wasn't what I was talking about, though.
All the mi.org sites I mentioned had other primary feeds (only one even
had destroyer listed).  It was the mi.us sites that were using destroyer.
So the logical decision would be to get rid of all the *.mi.us sites.
;-) ;-)  

The fact that mi.org is DIFFERENT from the rest of the world is OK because
it is BETTER than what they have elsewhere.  Better in terms of short
addresses, better in terms of a great group of people who communicate with
each other and solve problems before they become serious, better in terms of
a solid dependable network for mail delivery.  Would any of you push for 
um.cc.umich.ann-arbor.mi.us?  Or um.cc.umich.ann-arbor.mi.ac.us?  That's what
we should do if the US and Michigan aren't anything special.  If we're 
going to take the "democratic" approach of cutting off the heads of every
stalk of grain that is taller and better than the rest, OK, but let's
recognize that for what it is.
