   Witt wasn't well-liked by many. I strongly suspect that a large part of   
   that was his setup was such that none of the `usual suspects' in the North   
   American Backbone could shut him down.

   All the same, someone should check on his wellbeing.

   Or he might have just dropped out of Fido. Something I've considered for   
   quite a while myself.
