Since their MX's still function it sounds like it, or at least notified
their peers, neither paolo or steve have responded to multiple emails
from myself and at least 2 other peers, that alone is very poor showing,
for me, if they dont reply by end of month, I'm removing their feeds, its
only common courtesy to say "hey I got big issues i'll be back when I
can", but neither CBF even doing that.

I'm deleting the moronic crosspost as NNTP isn't being discussed.

If the servers are off line, there's nothing to peer with. I don't
understand why this is an issue for you. Paolo said something about the
RAID failure and doesn't really owe you further explanation. I have no
idea if Steve said anything.

What's the big deal about re-establishing peering should the News sites
come back on line?
