I was looking at something two days ago and half an hour ago I went to refresh the page - - their server responds "Warning: You triggered the wiki's surge protection by doing too many requests in a short time. Please make a short break reading the stuff you already got. When you restart doing requests AFTER that, slow down or you might get locked out for a longer time!" - - I think one request in two days should not trigger their "wiki's surge protection" - - They of course then refuse any connection so it is impossible to find out if they have an email contact. - I know about four years ago Wikipedia once did this, they had failed to realise that come carriers (yes carriers, not just an ISP) decide to implement a transparent proxy - - the result is the Wiki was blocking people because one of the other 2.5 million Australian users of the Optus network was also trying to access the wiki at the same time causing their wiki software to decide there were too many requests coming from this one server handling millions of customers.
