  At least the conversations for TgM users will be unaffected  
  with a downtime in FTN.  
    
  The situation is not unlike a group of users feeding off one  
  particular BBS while all the other BBSes in the network are  
  offline. At least the users associate with the 1st BBS can  
  keep communicating. In the TgM case, the users will have the  
  reliability of a well supported data center.
