Update!

/a/squid is no longer accessible on stat1.  I was just going to remove /a/squid/archive, but I noticed that there were some webrequest logs in other subdirectories of /a/squid.  These have been copied to stat1002 anyway, so this shouldn't be a problem.

Let me know if you have any trouble and I'll see what we can do.  If I don't hear any objections I'll delete these for good in a few days.

Thanks!
