[outages] [Outages-announce] Outages and posting on different types of services

[Chris Burwell]

I think that is a good idea, however, personally I preferr one list
for all outages. For the most part I have not seen an outages for game
servers, and things that are not really business related (at least for
me). It's helpful to see/hear about localized carrier outages as well
as larger outages all in one spot.

Just my $0.02!
