    Do you know why the messages appeared to stop at 1930 GMT or so yesterday
    (27 June 2003)?  I am told that they just mysteriously stopped around this
    time on every network they were hitting.  (I have been unable to confirm
    this personally, but I haven't seen mindjail on either of the IRC networks
    I frequent for over 24 hours now.
    
    Sincerely,
