[outages] fibre cut near 200 Paul, San Francisco

[Rich Parker]

As fashionable as it is to be paranoid, this does seem to fit the 'never 
attribute to malice that which can be more easily explained by 
stupidity' realm. IIRC, there have been a number of cases recently where 
various fiber trunks (some of them aerial runs) have been cut by 
miscreants looking for copper - they must have been so disappointed.....
