That trick never works *either*.

I suspect what we're going to have to do is set up an outage-notify list, 
with a companion -post (as nanog does), and let people volunteer to
summarize from the discussion list to -notify once some actual facts
have been gleaned from the discussions.

So, for last week, we might have seen

Service: AIM
Problem: Clients won't connect
Scope: Nationwide
Since: 1015
Reporter: jra at baylink.com
Confirmed: 12 users
Official? No

Service: AIM
Problem: Netsplit
Scope: Certain servers; correlation unclear
Since: 1015
Reporter: up at 3.am
Confirmed: 6 users
Official? No

Service: L3 transport USA:NE
Problem: Routing loop; link backhoed
Scope: AS 18467
Since: 1330
Reporter: somebody at somewhere.com
Confirmed: L3 ticket 772893-338
Official? Yes

each in an email from whomever did the summary.

Would this serve?

Cheers,
