Daring to challenge the will of the almighty Leviam00se, Nathan Torkington
(gnat@frii.com) had the courage to say:

: FreeBSD deimos.frii.com 2.1.0-RELEASE

: We recently had to rip out YP, kicking and screaming, after it
: detonated on our master server.

I would be very interested if you could elaborate a bit on what
you mean by 'detonated.' I'm also wondering why you felt it was
necessary to 'rip it out' when you could has just as easily 'turned
it off,' or 'not turned it on.'

-Bill

PS: I'll fix the missing semicolon presently.
