Site "hombre", the domain gateway for masa.com, has been off the air for a month. It was on sporadically for a day or so a while back, but today upon dialing several of its modem numbers, my modem's speaker came forth with an intercept message from the telco that "this number has been changed to 408-xxx-xxxx". Now Brooklyn, where hombre has been, is in area code 718. 408 is for San Jose. Since hombre was feeding mail and/or news to some fifty sites in the New York City area, there is now a massive disruption in communications in the NYC area. I suggest that provisionally, if not permanently, hombre needs to disappear from map entries. I don't mean to be rude to the folks who ran hombre, and I certainly would prefer that they speak for themselves -- hello out there? I certainly sent and received lots of traffic via hombre in the last few years, and was appreciative of its connectivity. Meanwhile, the neurons must find themselves alternate cells...

Fairfax O'Riley moved to California. He was sysadmin of hombre. This
move had been planned for a while now but "Fax" (as he is sometimes
called) neglected to tell many people--partially because he was always
out in California.
