I found a mailto: on their "sponsor"'s web, and sent them a message where the meat is

And it's been 20-odd minutes since the last of these particular Auto-LARTs (the 722nd) happened.
Let's see what happens overnight.

While procrastinating something, I noticed a wave of script kiddie traffic with a browser ID string matching a Github hosted "security scanning" project, but one without contact info. #github #security #scriptkiddies

It seems that adding the second, third and fourth entries in raw list at https://nxdomain.no/~peter/traplist.shtml has not dissuaded any consumers of that list.
Perhaps they don't read their data at all?
