I imagine it had something to do with them, but I'm not altogether 
sure what the relationship was.  Some areas turned into attbi.com, 
and others were supposed to turn into I-forget-what but the deal fell 
through at the eleventh hour, I gather.  I'm sure there's been a 
Slashdot article on it, but I haven't paid close attention lately.

I'm going to have to work on the HTML filters.  I'm presently 
using... um... HTML::FormatText, and there may be either a newer 
version, or a completely different method.  Basically, all I need to 
do is specify that Excite is *really* using text/enhanced or whatever 
the "lite" HTML encoding is, and it should be fine.  But right now, 
the Phoenyx doesn't handle that method at all (fortunately, it's 
exceptionally rare).
