This message is a test to see if the problem has been resolved.

I got your message; interestingly, I've been getting about 20% of the
usual traffic the last couple days. Maybe there is a more wide-spread
problem?

There's traffic showing up on the Google groups r.a.s. viewer that
doesn't seem to make it out to the rest of the world.

I just sent feedback about this to Google.

There's a thread running on the NANOG list (North American Network Operators Group) with the subject "uunet ends newsfeed/newsreader in US". More specifically it's about uunet/vzb, or Verizon Business will terminate 3/31. I'm presuming that somewhere along the mergers and acquisitions, Verizon got uunet's USENET servers. Could be that Google and other newsfeeds are remapping, or not, causing some gaps, as this long standing newsfeed might be peered with a number of others.
