Who took over VMSone.com when John passed away? I would thing one of
the DFW lug guys -- David Cathey or Pat Jankoviak. They'd be the best
to answer your question. I would love to see VMSone.com back on-line
too but at least Google has cached all of the _important_ content that
was there.

The likely owner of the box has been pinged.

This is weird. Hoff posted this a few days ago and again it appears.
Somebody has a problematic news server as I've seen numerous postings
reappear in the past few weeks. I wonder if this is due to the prob-
lems google was having and, perhaps, is still experiencing.

Over the years this has been a common problem in this newsgroup and
others. I believe the root cause is likely a protocol deficiency
allowing errant news servers anywhere to corrupt the group.

Microsoft nntp servers, no doubt. Or FreeBSD. Yeah, that's it:
Evil FreeBSD.
