I only sent you the start of the thread, as I said, I did not send you every single message in the discussion, up to and including the point where it was more generally announced that the last official sup server was going away and we were in "compatibility only mode." On the 6th of March, I then announced the death of spatter.freebsd.org in -hackers, posting a follow-up shortly afterwards that any services running on it should also be considered suspended until alternate providers could be found. The CNAME for sup.freebsd.org was also pointed to burka.rdy.com, a site which is still running a sup server as far as I know. I really don't know what more we could have done. Yes, I could have posted a more official announcement, but considering that the sup users were supposed to have transitioned over 6 months previously (my first message suggesting this as an advisable course of action was sent in August of 1996!) I just didn't think about it. It's not like spatter was or is the *only* sup site alive at the time. Jordan
