This is typical "Elvis hasn't been seen lately. Aliens are hard to spot too. Conclusion: Elvis is an Alien" thinking. BSDi had no effect on ftp.freebsd.org's services and kept things completely unchanged there, it was merely other factors which changed. The Internet started to suck more and changing economic realities in the ISP space forced the archive to move to the east coast, where things only got progressively worse. This would have occurred even sooner had Walnut Creek CDROM been involved and, in fact, we probably would have pulled the plug a lot sooner since WC had far less money to spend on things like that. Bill's points are valid too - looking exclusively on the dark side of things is an engineer's predilection that's not always fair or right, and though an honest discussion on what went wrong and right is fine, let's try to keep the crack-smoking conspiracy theories to a minimum.
