huh? shto vy govorite vadim?? The source claimed to be DIRECTLY knowledgeable. And if you read more carefully you should see that I was asking a question and that my question implied that sprint was blameless.

Sprint has nothing to do with the loops. Gordon -- you as a practioning journalist should know better than to trust "information" of hear-say, particluarly when the source explicitly disclaimed any first-hand knowledge.

Sprint customers are informed about scheduled maintenance and outages by means of a special mailing list.

Did this happen on Friday? If so I heard from a directly knowledgeable source that there was a power failure in Dallas that affected the MFS pop there and that MFS had to bring in a truck with generators to get the node operational again. If this is correct wold the looping be really blamable to either UUNET or Sprint?
