I already emailed Chatty Cathy two days ago but no reply as of yet.

I don't know how to maintain a web site but I'd gladly donate the few
dollars, I don't think the fee is very much. Something must have
befallen them in South Africa... a very troubled spot on the planet.
And actually from what I was told it was her husband who mostly
maintained the site.

We'll just have to wait and see what happens.
