Is anyone else having problems accessing the JREF site, [http://ww.randi.org](http://ww.randi.org) ? I haven’t been able to get that web page for several hours, altho a ping and tracert is able to complete with no errors. I also tried IP 216.120.227.137, no better.

Maybe he has been hacked? Attacked spiritually?

Just tried it again, and loaded the web page jes’ fine for the first time in at least 3 hours. No mention of an attack on the first page. Maybe he was hit by the dreaded Sylvia Browne Beam. 🙂
