Default Travellermap.com errata issue?

Hi All,
The following information was cross posted on the MgT forums - but I'm also posting it here as I try to find the site owner email for Travellermap.com

Anyone know where I should direct any possible errata regarding Second Survey data from Travellermap.com?

The issue is as follows:

# Alleg: NaXX: "Non-Aligned, unclaimed"

3140 Auitawry A56689A-C Ri Pa Ph An Pz DroyW { 4 } (F7E+5) [AC7E] - KM A 514 10 NaXX G6 V

What is the problem? NaXX was assigned to any and all worlds in that sector as being unoccupied. Auitawry as can be seen above, has a Class A starport and a population that is non-zero. In all, there are five such worlds listed in the Trojan Reaches for the downloadable Sec.txt file.

So, any help finding and contacting the site moderator would be helpful.

Thanks

Hal

Reaction to your rationale

NaXX is perfectly reasonable... it means the 3I doesn't claim the world.

More importantly, the world is WELL outside the 3I borders. The locals are Droyne and a few misjump survivors...

Oh, and where any other source contradicts Travellermap, and Travellermap doesn't specify apocrypha, it's the disseminator of canon, trumping all older sources. And Travellermap doesn't use NaXX for unihabited, but for a non-human/non-aslan/non-vargr world with no ties to other worlds. Nor, for that matter, does Marc. There are only 4 Na__ codes... NaAS Aslan dominated unaligned world, NaHU Human dominated Unaligned World, NaVA Vargr Dominated unaligned, and NaXX - any other dominant species without alignment to a larger power.

Finding the feedback link
Go to travellermap.com
click on the 3-line menu button
click on the question mark on the dropdown
THe dropdown tabs over to a different list, find and click on "News and Feedback"
you get taken to the news in a new window. Right column has "Links" - look for the "email" link.

If you look at the other examples of the same code - you will find that this world is the ONLY world that is inhabited by any culture - all other examples are worlds with zero population, zero government, zero law level, etc.

The post I left at Mongoose Traveller garnered attention (I believe) by the actual website owner. So - all is good.

Despite my decision to leave Citizens of the Imperium, I did leave a message at CotI as well - but have no further intent of going back and rejoining the group there. Until the issue regarding a particular Moderator over there is resolved, I have no intention of going back again. Since you and I both know that is not going to happen, my self-imposed exile will remain in effect.
