Is there not a redundant full feed into the Toronto area?  I thought that
both attcan and jarvis were bringing news in, and that most of the major
sites were exchanging news with each other. Why must the news stop when
attcan has problems?  Or is it that this is what ideally we would like
to have (ie the Toronto netnews reorganization).  What sort of progress
was made with this, anyways.   I know that ncrcan offered to be a major
player in it, but heard nothing back from anyone.
