fishy comments flag@wh.gov, changed to wh.gov/realitycheck, lol

merrie says:

E-mails to that address now bounce back with the message: “The e-mail address you just sent a message to is no longer in service. We are now accepting your feedback about health insurance reform via http://www.whitehouse.gov/realitycheck.”

So they say, but six hours have gone by without a bounce-back. Something is fishy here.
