  Found this gem in the comments of the first one: A city in Oklahoma threatened to call the FBI over an Apache error message... and sent the threat to CentOS. https://www.theregister.com/2006/03/24/tuttle_centos/ https://www.theregister.com/2006/03/24/tuttle_centos/

    The best part is the cities tuttle-ok.gov website has not come back online since 2006. They just gave up and built another website at cityoftuttle.com

Do we need a ROT13 encryption for Dev Names and emails?

  I think that if people are upset their name is up on a list clearly meant to shame them for being stupid, then contacting the author to say "ok I understand now, can you please remove us from that list" will definitely get them removed. But I suspect if someone is the kind of person to email a tool author because of what an unrelated tool user is doing, they're probably going to be quite chuffed there's a tangible outcome they can point at and say "see, I fixed the issue"
