Revati Sohoni

Revati's job here is a list and a clock. Every address that answers to this name gets opened, what it did gets written down, and the afternoon it happened goes beside it. That is the whole output, and she resists every temptation to turn it into a verdict.

Four hosts answer. Two of them showed a security screen rather than a page on the afternoon she opened them. A third came back once with no title at all and then did not come back at all twenty minutes later. A fourth opened cleanly and turned out to belong to somebody writing about the brand rather than running it. In the version of that paragraph she keeps rejecting, all of it collapses into "mostly unavailable"; in the version she publishes, each row keeps its own behaviour, because the inconsistency is the finding.

Her reason for insisting on the clock came from watching the same conversation fail in messaging groups. Someone posts an address, someone else says it is a copy, a third person says theirs works fine — and all three are describing different days. Undated, none of the three claims can be checked against either of the others. Dated, they stop contradicting each other and start being evidence.

The line she polices hardest on other people's drafts is the padlock. An encrypted connection describes the cabling between a phone and a server; it says nothing about the people the cable reaches. She will not let a sentence here slide from the first into the second, on the grounds that the slide is so easy and so useful to anybody dishonest.

She also refuses to name an owner. A lookup on these names returns a registrar and a hosting provider, neither of which is a person, and she would rather leave a blank in a table than fill it with something that reads like an answer.

She owns the home page, the host entry, where the password goes, the support entry and about this sorting page.
