Luther Blisset

I'm trying to reach one Luther Blisset in conjunction with a recipe we
want to use in the second edition of the Python Cookbook. The address
we have for him, which does not work anymore, is:

Luthor Blisset <situ [at] tioni>

If anyone knows Luthor and can help me locate him, I'd much appreciate
it.

I think you'll find that Luther Blisset is a nom-de-plume used when the
original contributor didn;t want to be, or perhaps couldn;t be.
identified. See

The "situationist" email address was a always a giveaway. Very clever!

Cheers,

Ah, me thinks someone's been playing football without a proper helmet. :-)

Does the inclusion of something like "(c) Luther Blissett, all rights reserved" in one's code do away with the need for GNU and GNU-like licensing? Have we been listening to lawyers when we should have been hanging out with the neo-(something) crowd? the later are bound to be more fun (he says having little experience with either)
