But we didn't feed news received from utzoo on to clyde because we didn't know how much of the news which originally came via linus that would include, and clyde doesn't have an infinite amount of dialer time. It seems that this turned out to be a non-problem, since clyde seems to deliver stuff reliably and early compared to linus and so the reverse traffic would be low. But everyone here was off doing other things and not paying attention to news, so nothing got changed. And we didn't know anything was wrong in Toronto. Anyway, watmath has now started forwarding all of the net.* articles coming in from utzoo on to clyde, effective Wednesday morning.
