Re: TRS Peeves & ftp.UU.NET problems

I tried mailing this back on 3/10/94 and got it returned to me from
MAILER-DAEMON@uunet.uu.net with a subject line which read:

Subj:  Returned mail: Cannot send message for 3 days

and:

   ----- Transcript of session follows -----
421 ftp.uu.net.tcp-local... Deferred: Connection refused by ftp.UU.NET


Anyone wishing a copy of my returned mail for debugging purposes can
send me e-mail to that effect.  To me it looks like the ftp.uu.net machine
may be been down for maintanence or something.


Here is my post again:

I don't know why but this is exactly what my brain thinks when it hears
that line of the song.  Have I watched too many Indian Jones movies?

BTW, I tried to write LAST Thursday to tell about the Kate Bush / Peter
Gabiel duet I saw listed for 2AM on CBS's "Night Flight"  (USA TV show 
folks).  I never saw my post show up in the digest but did see it show 
up under AOL's new Usenet news group thingie.  I assume you who get 
loose mail received it.

It turns out the duet was the usual "Don't Give UP!" hugging video.  I 
was hoping it was the live concert appearance, though I suppose this 
was never taped...
