I've noticed it too.  At first, I thought it was because of 
my computer crapping out on me.  But I've been having 
strange problems blocking ads.doubleclick and that google 
syndication crap. I think people have taken an extra long

The Mozilla Bully doesn't have that power.  He doesn't own 
them or controls them.  AOL owns them and Jay manages them.

cert expired maybe?

~$ openssl s_client -showcerts -connect secnews.netscape.com:563
CONNECTED(00000003)

That would normally be followed by a block of gobbledygook.  Like that
technical phrase? ;-)

Chris cannot in any way shut down secnews or even have it shut down.

I emailed the person at AOL who can actually touch the server, no reply yet.

And ... Please leave ChrisI out of this nonsense about shutting down
things at Netscape ..

No, the server would still be active and a cert expired message would
popup. The server doesn't ping, so it's down, dunno why.
