You _could_ try reporting a .org domain to the author.  Such a request
could work if it appears to have nothing to do with yr. humble servant,
but make sure there's nothing about your request that says 'Rick is
behind this.'

Suggestion:  eblug.org would probably be a good one.


(There was a thing that happened in 2010 that involved the Perl script's
author, and was nothing *I* did, but he's pissed at me anyway.  I cannot
give you details without infringing another party's privacy, so I
won't.)
