I was Googling on my own name, because of having read this (all on one line): http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/archives/individual/2005_07/006691.ph p And that's how I discovered this. The point is that posts that I've made for one audience (you subscribers to this list) are being made available to everyone in the world, potentially out of context, since they are accessible through Google. Now, I also noticed a large number of Usenet archiving services, but I never expected my Usenet posts to be anything other than public. I am quite annoyed at the number of sites that are using content they are basically stealing to populate their websites, without making it at all clear that the content doesn't really originate with them (the database websites that are running comp.databases.ms-access as a local group are the ones that annoy me). But there's nothing much can be done about that. > I've filed a request to remove my posts. Now that your sharp eyes have allowed it, I've resent my request to remove my posts, and the Finale list, as well. Interestingly, I checked the site for the two other mailing lists I subscribe to, and those aren't on the site at all. -- David W.
