I am subsequently a subscriber. And I am certain that at the
time I wrote that, I had had to wait for a doubleclick wwwbug
from your pages - it was stuck on that site in the middle
of loading from politechbot.com, with the URL solidly displayed.

But I'm not writing back for that.

Dude, you're site has expired.

#    Record expires on 07-Feb-2001

I ran 'nslookup', typed 'debug=2', entered politechbot.com (and
the www version), PSI punted all the way up, and A.GTLD-SERVERS.NET
said you didn't exist. 

When the record expires, it still works here and there for a while.

Some DNS servers still have you, some don't:

#    > server 38.9.221.2
#    Default Server:  ne2.res.dns.psi.net
#    Address:  38.9.221.2
#    
#    > politechbot.com
#    Server:  ne2.res.dns.psi.net
#    Address:  38.9.221.2
#    
#    Non-authoritative answer:
#    Name:    politechbot.com
#    Address:  216.110.42.179
#    
#    > server  38.9.211.2
#    Default Server:  ne1.res.dns.psi.net
#    Address:  38.9.211.2
#    
#    > politechbot.com
#    Server:  ne1.res.dns.psi.net
#    Address:  38.9.211.2
#    
#    *** ne1.res.dns.psi.net can't find politechbot.com: Non-existent host/domain

That the TLD servers no longer have you means 
the site is fading from the face of the earth.
