 I can't get to the DNS server for that domain at all.

 Also of note, the web page at radiolists.net says there have been bounces
 from my address.
 Not possible, that I wouldn't know about.
 Routing failure, yes, bounce, no.

 HOWEVER, I've been re-subed to AF again, and radiolists.net says it's
 sent me the confirmation to un-sub, as well as a password reminder
 so I can do it from the page, but neither ( several attempts ) has gotten here,
 while obviously I am seeing some list traffic.

 Clearly, there is some type of high-level problem somewhere.

 SO.....
 While this is happening, a question that should be HIGH on most of
 our minds is.....
 How is QOS across the net working ?
 Can this type of network problem have adverse affects on such things
 as IP routing of audio, Internet STL's and the like ??
 Have these things passed, or failed, this acid test ?
