I would like to know how to contact the owner of the piclist (james...@geocities.com).
14th Dec.2007 I searched for a solution to do Ascii-hex to bin
conversion with PIC processor (through USART of PIC16F628).
I used Google to search with following keywords:
"ascii hex to bin piclist"
and immediately got a response:
"Attention! You are requesting pages too fast!
piclist.com is not to be snatched for personal use
without remuneration and will not be mined for email addresses."

"The way you are browseing this website makes me think that you
are a robot, a web "spider" that follows links and "captures"
pages to copy a site or extract information from it. Since you are
not a known Search engine robot, you are probably copying the site
for your own personal use or to resell or you are looking for
email addresses to send SPAM to."

The tone of the response message was not polite.
I have tried to contact the list owner -- the mysterious James Newton
and ask why I was accused of harvesting as it was the first Google
search to piclist I did that day -- but got no reply.
I would also like to know why:
http://techref.massmind.org/techref/piclist/...
maintains a public list of e-mail addresses for
spam harvesters (Piclist subscribers 200106)?

This issue is explained on this web page. The bock is easily reversed by the user. Adjustments have been made to reduce the sensitivity of the trap.
We maintain a list of the email addresses that we have been spammed by and email addresses that point back to the spammers and their ISP's. We do not list the subscribers to the piclist. All piclist subscriber emails in the archive are obfuscated to prevent harvesting.
