whats kinds of services would you want?  as long as its run on cmu's campus
it can never have full internet email/news/etc, due to cmu's posting policy 
(all outgoing email is required to have a full legal name attachted to it,
so I'd have to have everyone register by snail mail with photo id or something,
which still isn't very provable).  Yes, other machines on cmu's net have gone
down for reasons like this.

Also, realize that the system is very popular right now.  In fact, since
August 7th people have logged on from 1292 different sites, which means
that there are probably about 1800 or 1900 active users (assuming something
like 1.5 users/site).  Do we really need more than that?  Its already hard
to keep up in the message bases...and talk usually has more than enough people 
on it.
