A) Do you happen to have proof that people *arent* reporting the problems to NSI as well as posting here? B) Considering how important NSI has been to keeping the net going, I'm surprised we haven't seen a CNN soundbite of Wolf Blitzer standing in front of NSI's corporate headquarters, talking about NSI executives preparing to explain to a Congressional subcommittee exactly why there are so many problems... A few days ago a total of 13 sites got DOS'ed, for an average of a few hours each, and that got MAJOR press coverage. It's surprising there wasn't a similar fuss the time that 30% of the .com's were dropped on the floor due to a undetected disk-full condition, and sites were having sporadic problems for several DAYS till all the DNS caches timed out, or the time a few days later there was ANOTHER problem, or the time..... Let's face it guys, taken on the "number of sites times outage time" basis, NSI operational issues have screwed a *LOT* more of the 4 million .COM's out there than trin00 has....
