What's a drive-by, and until a post is made and answered somewhere, how is a user supposed to know if a failure is caused by something local (mix of software, internet infrastructure), one repo mirror, or the basic infrastructure?

Dunno that I know your 'nick', Les, nor have seen contribution by you in #centos IRC. Is the CentOS' re-design on IRC a culture you understand via lurking a bit? [Clearly the earlier poster I trimmed down to respond to was not, as it clearly misstated some CentOS changes from 'bog standard' IRC practice]
I don't use IRC at all - and don't like real-time typing in general. Email seems much more civilized in terms of both giving you time to think before typing and being able to interleave with the rest of your life.
