Narrowing Down A Strange Problem 2004-09-15 - By David P. Donahue
So far people who can view the site are in:
South Carolina
North Carolina
Missouri
Arkansas
And people who can not are int:
Massachusetts
New York
California
The only pattern I can derive from that data is the number of hops in
the route.
