If they change their policy, this would apply only to the data they collected after their change. Anyway, the mailing list is indexed by google, so your email is already referenced by google. Search for a part of a message you wrote, for example "but this part of DNS is still some kind" (use double quotes in google search to do an exact search) and you get it (http://www.google.fr/search?num=100&hl=fr&rls=GGLC%2CGGLC%3A1970-01%2CGGLC%3Afr&q=%22but+this+part+of+DNS+is+still+some+kind%22). You can aslo search for your email, either "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" or "erv at sympatico.ca" and you find some references. You are well known on the internet. I'm sure you already receive a lot of spam as I do (hundreds of messages each single day). -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.overbyte.be ----- Original Message ----- From: "Eric Montréal" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "ICS support mailing" <twsocket@elists.org> Sent: Sunday, January 15, 2006 4:15 PM Subject: Re: [twsocket] ICS and MidWare Frappr group > Francois PIETTE wrote: > >>I added custom pins to the Frappr ICS and MidWare group >>(http://www.frappr.com/icsandmidware).
