I used to have some domains registered with "theparsec.com", and would communicate with the owner, "ML", on occasion. It was great, he was responsive and helped me out if an order didn't go through for some reason.

In 2022, their TLS certificates were off -- a subdomain used by a backend redirect process was no longer valid, so I contacted "ML" and they were unresponsive. I managed to get my domains to a new register by ignoring some TLS warnings and transferring them. As of July of 2022, I have not heard from "ML" and I assume that he passed away. I don't know their identity or what became of them. All I know is that their name is/was Mark.

The internet is weirdly good for creeping on people with this level of detail —

Looks like you can reach him at mark84@gmail if you want to say ‘hi’.

I did some more creeping, but this is probably the end for me if he doesn't get back to my email. He was involved with real estate, but their realty webpage is offline and the last record in the Internet Archive is from 2018. That's the last time I heard from him as well. My original comment was incorrect -- that's the last time I interacted with his service.

I wonder if the whole thing was on auto-pilot until things eventually broke.

I had found that person, and thought that it could be him. The site that I used did not provide an email address, though. Even the link that you provided shows other addresses than that to me.

Yeah it’s weird how they obfuscate some and surface different emails - this one seems to have both in normal and incognito mode: https://www.fastpeoplesearch.com/mark-lord_id_G-414558371175...

		It's probably an attempt to maximize search hits. I wonder if they would always be provided if your user-agent matched google's webcrawler UA. The last email address in your link, the sbcglobal one, is for someone else entirely. She's involved in the church in Springfield, IL. I assume that she got tied in by Mark's surname.
