I cannot find the off-line message that you refer to. Not even in the spanm box.

When you say my site, are you refering to dotancohen.com? Of course
I'm not blocking linux! If you are refering to the citibank site, it's
not my site. I didn't post that link.

And I too can reach the site. But certain parts of the site pop up an
"error" that I'm using the wrong operating system. Thats blocking, my
friend.
