A quick nmap port scan of my home computer (RR service in Tampa) from
work shows port 80 as being open; maybe TW is just giving you line of
crap?

$ nmap -p 1-100 www.domain.com
Starting nmap V. 2.54BETA30 ( www.insecure.org/nmap/ )
Interesting ports on www.domain.com (My IP):
22/tcp closed ssh
25/tcp closed smtp
80/tcp open http
