             Subject: Help needed dealing with pirate

    My site "Common Errors in English" <http://www.wsu.edu/~brians/errors/> is
    so popular that it has been repeatedly pirated. Usually a complaint to the
    pirate or his/her service provider does the trick, but I've been unable to
    make any headway with "WritersWorkshop" at simplenet.com. There is no clue
    on the site as to who has created this unauthorized mirror; and messages to
    the postmaster at simplenet.com go unanswered. It is particularly
    irritating because the pirate page is an old version of my work with some
    errors in it that have since been corrected on the real site; but people
    continue to write "correcting" me.

    Do any of you know how to get at the "writersworkshop" folks or otherwise
    deal with this problem?

    The pirate page is at
    <http://learn.simplenet.com/writersworkshop/DOCS/errors.txt>.
