Correction to "Abortion Abolishionist's" hosting service



Yesterday I wrote that Neal Horsley's anti-abortion websites were 
apparently hosted by Verio. (http://www.politechbot.com/p-04940.html) I 
based this on a traceroute from the Politech server that showed the sites 
to be inside Verio's network.

Since then, I've heard from a top Verio official (who subscribes to 
Politech) who noted that was not correct; the sites are hosted by a large 
customer of Verio, not the company itself. More to the point, it looks like 
Verio was not the company that sent Horsley his cease-and-desist note and 
its customer was.

I apologize to Verio for the error. A more detailed analysis -- a network 
whois lookup and a second traceroute (http://centralops.net/co/default.asp) 
from another location -- suggests that Everyones Internet in Houston, Texas 
is in fact Horsley's hosting service.
