Does anyone know who's responsible for this site?

It doesn't have any contact address, and it is providing a download button
for some software. At the bottom, there is an blurb about Ada, including
links to various Ada sites (including adaic.org).

Various people are downloading the software, having problems, and then
writing to the first e-mail address they see -- which is
webmaster@adaic.com. I don't much like ignoring them (we don't want Ada to
have *that* reputation), but even replying with a form letter is getting to
be very annoying.

Whoever owns the site needs to put a contact address/help information for
the software on the page. The software's home page has enough information to
help these people, but they don't have an obvious way to get to it.

I tried the usual mailboxes, but they all bounced. (They probably were
getting too many queries like the ones I'm now getting...this started
recently.)

Whoever he is, he can't spell 'language':

Ada-Ware

     THE langauge for real-time control systems

Very strange site too. Does anyone think it might be
knocking copy (=a site designed to damage the reputation
of Ada)?

What I was thinking is that this was an intelligent play of word ad aware
with the hyphen in the wrong place hence a trick to get people to download
their spyware program (which is probably a spyware anyways :-))  and get
stuck with it....
