 Replying to [comment:4 caughron@…]:
 > Hi Sean:
 >
 > Communication offering the expiring domain happened in January 23 2014
 with a person internal at Apple.  Without naming the person, the response
 I received after about a week was: "Sorry for the slow reply.  I'm not
 sure anybody cares at this point. There was some contention in the past,
 but it's a fairly distant past in Internet years..."

 One person != the MacPorts team

 > The reason for the urgency here is that I have recently had people
 associate my name with fraud due to the contents of the page.  Please put
 yourself in my place - how would you like people to google and find
 information that accuses you of fraud, which apparently has been on the
 internet for ten years.

 Would you like to remove every bad page associated with your name from the
 Internet?

 > I do not intend to dispute the issue of the domain name which no longer
 belongs to me.  What I want to have happen is that the page with
 accusative and negative associations be removed as soon as possible.

 I'm definitely not the one to decide but this kind of situation happens
 all the time online. You can't honestly expect to control search engines
 and edit every web site in existence that mentions your name, can you?
 What about archives and such? You could always try what others do in this
 situation: do enough good deeds so that people find those search results
 first.
