I suppose there's still no way to get in touch with the author of the interesting page http://www.mathpages.com/home/kmath633/kmath633.htm ? I want to inform him that the page contains the phrase "Large Hardon Collider". Sic. Actually, I'm mostly hoping he'll see this.

Are you serious? If you google his name, the first hit is to his university home/info page, which includes his phone number and e-mail. Not exactly difficult to get ahold of him.

robphy: That thread is the reason I called this one "Another person trying..."

http://www.numericana.com/fame/ gives the mathpages' Kevin S. Brown's address as Kent, WA, with no academic affiliation. "White Pages" sites give a mailing address for a Kevin S. Brown in Kent. So unless someone has an e-mail address, I'll decide whether I feel like writing an actual paper letter to correct one embarrassing typo. Thanks to everyone who has responded.
