No, it is the truth. The fact is that DT has gone and intentionally broken *all* routes to webcom.com -- the SJ Merc said 129,000. But the point is moot. Try: http://www-leland.stanford.edu/~llurch/Not_By_Me_Not_My_Views/zundel/pr.004.... http://www.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs.cmu.edu/user/declan/www/Not_By_Me_Not_My_Views/... Is DT going to block every machine in stanford.edu, cmu.edu, mit.edu, uiuc.edu, harvard.edu, berkeley.edu, and so on? Or from any machine with access to AFS, which includes thousands of academic and a few corporate machines in Germany, the following file system paths will work. With a simple symbolic link, any machine with AFS can become a mirror site. /afs/cs.cmu.edu/user/declan/www/Not_By_Me_Not_My_Views/pr.004.compuser.html /afs/ir.stanford.edu/users/l/llurch/WWW/Not_By_Me_Not_My_Views/pr.004.compuser.html Is DT going to block TCP port 80 and UDP ports 7000-7029 from every machine in the world? -rich
