Bottom line is I have not done anything wrong. I have not done anything
that I don't have the right to do. When you put your information on a
public forum you are giving the public the right to do with it what they
wish to. You are effectively handing it out to everyone.

If they got it from the same source or some other public forum I'd be
fine. It's my own fault for putting it there and if I did put it there I
know what the consequences are. You and anyone else are free to look it up
and post it. Hell I'll do it for you if you like, but I do keep the
information up to date as I've done a bit of moving lately.

If I were the ISP I'd be telling you it's your own damn fault for
releasing the info in the first place.

No, that would up the numbers a little. Say 4? I don't know have you
counted?

Mark, there was no point from the beginning.
