Hi, I'm once again having trouble with the NNTP server taking a long time to respond. Nothing has changed on my end, yet this seems to happen every few months. Usually it goes away after several days or weeks. A typical example of tracert output is (...) (21 years ago, 7-Aug-03, to lugnet.admin.nntp)

(...) Actually, back in 1994, which is when RFC1738 was written, there was all sorts of discussion about URN's (Universal Resource Names), URI's (Univesal Resource Identifiers), and URL's (Universal Resource Locators).
