Doesn't mail.openbsd.org, alongside most other openbsd servers, originate from Theo's basement ? If so, it tells you nothing "beacon" about the state of the internet. There are many, many, many better projects out there that you can monitor if you wish to have a true "beacon" view of what's going on on the internet. Nor does it tell you anything of openbsd's dedication to anything apart from its obstinance in insisting that Theo's basement is the best place to host servers and refuse to answer questions from the community in that respect (see discussions when Theo came begging for money for electricity or whatever it was a few years back). Still, I'm sure Theo will be happy for you to blow his trumpet for him. ;-)
