Well, that was my first thought. Bellsouth (now "The New AT&T" feck)
was even worse than Comcast with the newsreaders, as they'd tend to be
flaky at 7 AM or so.
My next thought was that they were not allowing me to post to COLA
(other newsgroups didn't have this problem --- but then, they weren't
mentioned in my killfile, either.)
Right now, with the older, but freshly-compiled slrn I'm running, things
seem fine.
