 "We've had an important notice, that simply had to be passed
 on; for those who've seen it before, revel in your old-sk00l
 style: It's that time again! As many of you know, each year
 the Internet must be shut down for 24 hours in order to allow us to
 clean it. 
 The cleaning process, which eliminates dead email and inactive ftp, www
 and
 gopher sites, allows for a better-working and faster Internet. This
 year, the
 cleaning process will take place from 23:59 pm (GMT) on March 31st until
 00:01 am (GMT) on April 2nd. During that 24-hour period, five powerful
 Internet-crawling robots situated around the world will search the
 Internet
 and delete any data that they find.  >>
