78. AIT = Advanced Internet Technologies
It is the fastest growing hosting company in the world--and I can stand at the front door of my building and see theirs. To say I'm embarrassed for Bev is an understatement.

Now that I know who the host is, I'm not surprised the whole site was pulled: the guy who runs the place, Clarence Briggs, is cautious to extremes.

I was looking around on the Internet for Briggs' political affiliations (although he's probably a Republican--he is a retired infantry officer, and that little club is packed with wingnuts) and found a beauty of a tale about his company: "The whole building is surrounded by razor wire." Not in this town it ain't: AIT is in historic downtown Fayetteville in the old Sears and Roebuck building. If he put up a cyclone fence with triple-strand concertina on top of it, the Historic Resources Commission would pitch a fit.

Bev, find you a nice French hosting company or a nice German hosting company (but NOT one that buys server space from AIT--dealing with resellers is one of Clarence Briggs' big moneymakers) and put bbv.org on it.
