    Default Luckily everything is going to be cleaned up soon

    DO NOT CONNECT TO THE INTERNET FROM 12:01 AM GMT ON Sept. 1 TO 12:01 AM GMT, Sept. 2 !!


    *** Attention *** It's that time again!
    As many of you know, each year

    the Internet must be shut down for 24 hours in order to allow us to clean it. The cleaning process, which eliminates

    dead email, inactive ftp and www sites, and empty USENET groups, allows for a better working and faster Internet.


    This year, the cleaning process will take place from 12:01 a.m. GMT on September 1 until 12:01 a.m. GMT on

    September 2 (the time least likely to interfere with ongoing work). During that 24-hour period, five powerful

    Internet search engines situated around the world will search the Internet and delete any data that they find.


    In order to protect your valuable data from deletion we ask that you do the following:
    1.

    Disconnect all terminals and local area networks from their Internet connections.
    2. Shut down all

    Internet servers, or disconnect them from the Internet.
    3. Disconnect all disks and hard drives from

    any connections to the Internet.
    4. Refrain from connecting any computer to the Internet in any way.


    We understand the inconvenience that this may cause some Internet users, and we apologize. However, we are

    certain that any inconveniences will be more than made up for by the increased speed and efficiency of the Internet,

    once it has been cleared of electronic flotsam and jetsam.
    We thank you for your cooperation.

    Sysops and others: Since the last Internet cleaning, the

    number of Internet users has grown dramatically. Please assist us in alerting the public of the upcoming Internet

    cleaning by posting this message where your users will be able to read it. Please pass this message on to other

    sysops and Internet users as well.
    Thank you.
