An end to the Eternal September?
Okay, now this is odd.
About half a dozen people get notified via email when I post here (it's a
feature I dropped three years ago [1]) and I noticed that just now,
notifications to AOL (America On-Line) [2] are bouncing, not because AOL
(America On-Line) [3] is rejecting my email (a typical occurance) but … well
…

A few checks, and yes, AOL (America On-Line) [4] has no way of receiving
email from the outside world at this time.
Could this be the actual end of the Eternal September [5]? (sorry Dad) Or is
this just a momentary glitch where heads might end up rolling?
Update a few hours later …
It seems that AOL (America On-Line) [6] got its act together and fixed the MX
(Mail eXchange) problem. Alas, the Eternal September continues …
