I really got a couple of BOGUS articles last night... one said CARRIER LOST,
and the other said (098ew7095842%&*())32287430lkjh98yr ucn).

I am happy to see the stock quotes finally return, but haven't seen much by
way of news articles yet. I have, however had the gateway program crash
twice recently. Fixing this will probably accelerate the next distribution.
