Failures started happening Thursday 2002/06/27 night, hardly a few days after I left for Spain.
I had managed to have the computer and modem restarted by my favorite old lady neighbour.
But now, frontal machine would systematically crash after a couple of hours.
I checked and I found many "Atapi" and "Disk Error" in Win2K's event viewer.
In the past days, I tried all the tricks I could, but nothing helped and I am getting tired.

Farout's stats/keyrings have long been just as good as mine.
Quite a few remailers offer the same features + level of speed as Frog3.
There are still 3 m2news.
Artificially and remotely maintaining my services while the machine is hardware-ridden is a chore for me (and my neighbour) and a disservice to the community.

Frog (remailer, stats/keyrings, m2news, newsserver) is dead until September.

MetaPingers, Pingers, End-users: adjust your software accordingly.
My own stats/keyrings will be removed from mirrors by tonight,
 the rest of the WWW will stay "as is".

If somebody wants to start a troll/flood-free NewsServer carrying apas:
 let me know by mail, so that I can subscribe.
(I did not subscribe apas elsewhere but my own NewsServer,
and I don't intend to peruse thousands of crap messages to get a couple interesting ones)
