sci.space.tech, anyone?

[Richard Lamb]

Does anyone here read sci.space.tech?

The reason I ask it because, quite suddenly, it seems to be unavalible.

I'm wondering if it's just earthlink, or did it disappear?


Wouldn't have anything to do with that 100 foot rock that missed us
by that much Thursday, would it?

Oh yea, the rock! The one that made the evening news (not!)

Too busy trying to justify the iraq 'war'.

26000 miles is less than three planet diameters.


If the Earth were the bulls eye, that shot wouldn't have
cut paper. But it does make one wonder how much warning
one might actually get...

First noticed - Monday? Passed over the South Atlantic Thursday?

Anyway, back to real problems...
It looks like earthlink news servers.
Googling the groups shows there are active threads

Oh well...
Patience is something I need to learn.
Right NOW.

The earth's diameter is about 7,926 miles, so 26,000 miles would be a bit
more than three diameters, if we want to pick nits.

Ok, nit picked. I was thinking 8000 mile diameter...

Doh! My apologies, Richard. For some stupid reason I read it to mean *one*
diameter was 26,000 - not three. Must not have been on top of my game as
evidenced by typing W instead of S.

That's it! Maybe I didn't type it. Yeah! My evil twin Rich W. did it. Whew.

Your biases are showing. It was on several news reports.

Thanks for noticing...

Actually, I was having a real hard time watching any 'news' coverage last week what with all the noise about the 1 year
anniversary of this so-called war, so it could have been slipped in on of the 10 second sound bites and I would have
missed it...

Ten seconds is about what it got, too.

Back on (OT?) thread of SST, it looks like what happened is, for the
first
time in my net life, I've been blocked by a group moderator.

Not redirected to sci.space.policy, as per the group charter, but
erased.
Me too.
I can't even see the headers from my browser.

You think it might have had something to do with the following?
