Server maintainers please note

An addition to the server etiquette rules in
http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/Provider/Etiquette.html
says that for any internet host running a WWW server there should be
a mail alias

webmaster@hostname

to which problems with the server can be reported.

Remember also that it is wise to set up a domainname alias for
your server: rather than referring to it as mysun4.cc.fred.edu
make an alias for example

www.fred.edu

so that if you change machines, the alias can be switched to the new
server.

Thanks for your time, keep up the good work!
