[Booker, Delmar]

I have been trying to get to the web sight genuswinebbq.com but the web
sight is not work but you page comes up saying.

This page is used to to test the proper operation of the apache http
server after it has been installed.

I have tried to contact the web sight by email by it come by not right
address.

Can you contact the web address that you set this page up for and let
them know that their web address is not working?????

Please contact me asap

The web address is www.genuswinebbq.com http://www.genuswinebbq.com/

Thank you very much;

That is a test page included with our operating system;
we don't actually control the site in question.
Please refer to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ServerTestPage

A whois lookup of the domain gave the e-mail [e-mail],
so you might try contacting that address.

Thanks,
Ricky

Maybe the page needs links to Google's translator. Maybe these people
just aren't native English speakers. I find it hard to believe that an
apperent English native government employee couldn't parse the
information on the test page.

You may not be aware, but the Apache test page is a plague for these
kind of questions.  Red Hat has been getting them for years.  There are
a couple of (in)famous stories from CentOS[1] about people seriously and
continuously misunderstanding that page.

You have to figure, that with >6 billion people, there is going to be a
range of ability to read a Webpage and follow instructions.  It is
literally impossible to catch all the cases.

And for this were born, "Canned Responses":

I am aware. Even of the infamous CentOS hacker story. Frankly, this
very near scares me. I'm not sure if it's literally possible to
explain the test page any further, so I'm just proposing that a link
to the Google translator may help.
