[Discuss] Problem accessing blu.org

FYI – I am inside Comcast’s network – so not blocked in any manner, in fact nothing is blocked in any manner in the ISP part of the network.

– let me see how much of this I can paste here

One wonders if COMCAST is an ISP or just an infotainment company providing

Web access to related media properties only.

Perhaps COMCAST has blackholed the BLU IP address because it has a

mailserver/Listserve and isn't named Google or Yahoo or AOL and thus is

misdiagnosed as an infected site or worm control node :-/  .

If it helps, from VZ FIOS

I do like how an HTTP connection to the real hostname or IP address

provides a choice page to select the virtual site ! Nice touch.
