Sandy got laid off about a year and a half ago (good for him, he was owed
back pay as well, I remember), and went to work at C2NET after that.
However, on first glance, it sounds like Hilby and Co. sold their domain
name? Hmmm...
After all, <eric@sac.net> used to be Eric's old email address.
Interesting. Let's look at what whois says...

Bingo^3 :-).
So, my guess is, they kept the domain name, but either sold, or were forced
off, the name "Simple Access" somehow.
But, looking further, why would they be able to keep simpleaccess.com?
Curioser and curioser. Is the name "Simple Access" persona non grata
somewhere?
Curioser and curiouser. All the world loves a mystery...
