This has been now fixed and the servers should start reappearing in the statistics from Tue Aug 10. It will take some further days for them to appear in the "Response within 4 hours in at least 5 out of 7 recent tests" section. Apologies for any inconvenience.

" mean here ? Gophermail server was faster that the gopher server that was returning results of the newsgroup listing. That is, the gopher server was in the process of updating or trasferring data and the gophermail program didn't wait for it to finish. Could also be that the gopher server is "stuck" trying to update a newsgroup listing. -- Gerry Boyd -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 9 Aug 1999 14:20:41 -0700 From: "Gerald E. Boyd" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Reference.com DEFUNCT Netters, Cross-posted to Accmail and Help-Net It appears as though the reference.com service is finally gone. I checked today and got a "not found" but now see this message at http://www.reference.com/ NOTICE: Reference.com will be unavailable until further notice. Thank you for supporting Reference.com. So Usenet by email is now getting damn near impossible... -- Gerry Boyd -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 9 Aug 1999 14:39:04 -0700 From: "Gerald E.
