I sent a note to stopbadware.org and go the following auto-reply,
"Unfortunately, we receive so much feedback that we may not have time
to respond to every suggestion and question, though we do read all of
it."

of course...

When I'm done at my ISP I'll be spending the rest of my day writing
about this. I'm probably the only person that has been affected by
this to be ale to cause stopbadware.org more pain than they have
caused me. Small axe on a big tree...

This will be fun eventually.
