[ SNIP ]

Folks, these [this and "new worm?" ] are clearly on-topic 
operational posts. If we could up the content on any outage
like assertions, I know a lot of us would appreciate the on
topic post -and- the extra information. Thanks for the early
warning, regardless. After the global sound of coffee mugs 
hitting the floor, it only takes us a few minutes to look
into these things. The extra data helps.

Regards,
