I haven't filed a flight plan in nearly five years (sigh), but prior to
that I filed 50+ a year for 6 years straight and never had one lost.
The line about losing half of the flight plans is likely a very gross
exaggeration, unless the system has went downhill very fast since I last
flew.

Could be a change, but that seems unlikely and nobody has complained
about DUATS here lately.
