Yeah, same here. I'm guessing they're leaving the server up
tem****arily while some fraction of the users get the message and go
elsewhere...that way they don't need as many temp workers to answer
the pissed-off phone calls when they actually take it down.

The notice of the shutdown did include a Comcast-customer discount
offer at Giganews, which was the actual server for Comcast news.
