Perhaps, Network Solutions rerouted all Micrsoft's traffic like they did a few days ago.

Note:<888>01/23/01 Tuesday 10:40 P.M. EST: I rested until 4 A.M. yesterday. I watched some morning news until 8 A.M.. I went to bed, and I recieved a telephone call from a family member about 3 P.M. thanking me for the United States flag. A good way to build a flag pole would be to take a 5 inch PCV pipe about 4 feet long and tied it to dock posts with large three large hose clamps or to bury it in the ground. Then one would take a 4 inch PCV pipe twelve feet to sixteen feet long depending on the flag size and whether it is going in the groun. One would attach a galvanized rope pulley at the top of the long PCV pipe with galvanized screws or bolts, nuts, and washers. About five to nine feet from the other end allowing for the longer PCV pipe to slide down the four foot by 5 inch PCV pipe or be flush with a dock, one would attach about a nine inch rope twist anchor mooring, such as is used on sale boats or around marine environments, which would one could obtain at a marine supply store. One would have to use galvanized screws to attach it. Then one would take a 25 foot or longer nylon rope, and thread it through the pulley. One would attach to the rope a brass clip devive such as used for raising sales on both ends of the rope. Then one could attach both ends of the rope to the brass fittings on the flag, and raise and lower it and secure it to the nine inch tie hold down. One could stick the entire flag pole into the 5 inch four foot PCV pipe attached to a dock post, or submerged in the ground. I tried calling a couple of friends. I then had Wheaties, toast, orange juice, vitamins, and coffee. I feel back asleep until 8 P.M.. I watched an HBO movie.
