Great comment, now what?

UPDATE: Problem solved, see comment below. Here's Nisse Husberg's (draft) paper, "The Only Really Open Net Is The Really Stupid Net!"

"Nisse" wrote a very intriguing comment (go read it!) on my previous post, and he or she ends by saying,

I wrote a short paper "The Only Really Open Net Is The Really Stupid Net !" which can be downloade[d] from http://fiberforum.Hindersby.net -- Click on "Filebox". It is just a draft. Comments appreciated.
I tried to find it. http://fiberforum.Hindersby.net redirected me to http://bredband.selfip.net/forum/ which is a"fibermaffians debattforumm" but I couldn't fine Filebox to click on. I tried Googling, and came up with all the usual suspects but not Nisse's paper. Nisse didn't leave an email address, but I'm pretty sure the last name is Husberg.

Any ideas anybody? Maybe Nisse will reply personally. Thanks in advance.

[By the way, what's a fibermaffian? Is it more like a fiber maven, i.e. an expert? Or is it more like a member of a secret society, as in Mafia?]

Sorry, our forum is temporarily not taking uploads. The Filebox function has been a bit troublesome and I thought it was fixed. And our moderator seems to be busy ...

But I have put the article in our portal:

http://portal.Hindersby.net

It is in Swedish but if you click on the meny to the left

Datanät: teknik (lista)

or perhaps on the name in Senaste Nytt (Lastest News) then you can read the article in English.

The "Fibermaffian" really does mean the "Fiber mob" and is a joke by our EU Member of Parliament when we visited her in Brussels (she is now member of the government).

The official name is The Finland-Swedish Fiber Group but it sounds a bit boring. It is an unofficial group of people building fiber networks in different parts of Finland and the forum is our way of keeping in touch and exchanging experiences.

And yes, my name is Nisse Husberg, earlier research worker and professor in theoretical computer science (category theory and formal models of distributed systems). I also worked for almost 20 years in the Computing Centre of the technical University building data networks. Nowadays I stand i the mud in our village and do a REAL hands-on network building :-).

But again on the Stupid Net: It was a real eye-opener for me. I had the same kind of vage ideas but the paper made it very clear what it was about.

We only build Open nets in our group.
 
By the way, my email is:

Nisse.Husberg and I use gmail.com

(and I'm "he").
