Dear World:
The United States of America, your quality supplier of ideals of liberty
and democracy, would like to apologize for its 2001-2008 service outage.
The technical fault that led to this eight-year service interruption has
been located, and the parts responsible for it were replaced Tuesday
night, November 4. Early tests of the newly-installed equipment indicate
that it is functioning correctly, and we expect it to be fully functional by
late January 2009.
We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the outage, and we look
forward to resuming full service -- and hopefully even to improving it
in years to come.
Thank you for your patience and understanding,
The USA
