huh, well, near as I can tell, I didn't get Stable for any time represented yesterday (2013-10-31) for the node VastCatbox. So maybe that theory is incorrect. In that case I don't know what would trigger the SYN flood behavior other than Roger's idea about becoming an introducer for a popular

On the other hand the reports, of actual problems, don't seem to be many. The mutterings and rumours do seem to echo. Of the eighteen exit relays I've run (for just a few months) only a couple have brought letters over copyright and they were in the USA. I am having to deal with the providers's
