You'll probably get a better response, as well as a fix if there is a problem, by posting to that list rather than here.

"I have not been able to connect to rpmforge for a couple of days"
This one I guess. I understood that he could not connect to the web site. IIRC, that has to do with http services, not mailing lists.
I just this moment fired up a mail retrieval from users-bounces@lists.rpmforge.net and received two messages.
Now, maybe the web site is down or not, but mail is apparently working at this time. Further, over the last few days, I regularly fetch mail, if any is available, from that address.
If there is more that I did not understand, please enlighten me.
If the OP had stated that _mail_ was not working, I would have noticed that.

you mean the list you can't find since the rpmforge website is apparently down?
luckily, google had a cached entry for it. i signed up for the users@lists.rpmforge mail list, which apparently has just a few messages a week judging from the archives.
fyi, it appears rpmforge.net is redirecting to rpmrepo.org who's DNS is erratic, when it works, it in turn seems to land on www.com.net which disavows any knowledge.

I see that _your_ post to rpmforge's list got through ok and the web site was apparently not fixed at that time, based on Dag's subsequent post.
Now, since this is a CentOS list and the mailing lists for rpmforge were apparently working, what is wrong with suggesting that the user post there?
You and Brian both seem to have the same problem with my short reply to the OP. What specifically is your beef with my suggestion, which was not critical, combative or offensive in any way that I can see.

Not your fault at all. I know that Dag often monitors this list and on occasions when he can't/doesn't get stuff resolved at the rpmforge site/list, he'll generously help out right from this list.
But he has posted at rpmforge list about how swamped he is. Logic would indicate that a faster response might be had there. My assumption was that you either didn't know about his mailing list or forgot about it. So I just wanted to suggest it to you. I seldom (never?) intend to be condescending or harsh in my posts (resist the urge, resist the urge, ... oh well, the hell with it: unlike some others ;-)
Unfortunately, the desire for brevity on lists often allows a lot of latitude for interpreting posts as harsh.
The ruckus came when some folks apparently interpreted your post differently than I and decided that I deserved castigation.
Their problem, not mine.
Thanks for the help
I do hope that my original reply was seen as intended - helpful.

Ruckus stirs itself on most mailing lists!
Overworked sysadmins just need to go get a cup of coffee and count to 10 before they hit "reply", or at least before they hit "send".
I know that dealing with dwindling IT budgets and angry managers, not to mention clueless (l)users gets to all of us sooner or later.
PS... Half of the cup is gone before I hit "send"! :-D
