Spouting off.

I have just discovered that my email containing my brother's address has
indeed been posted onto the internet, along with mine and anyone who
sent anything via this list. They are on the IFIS website archives.
This was done without my knowledge, or consent. I will certainly pay
more attention as to what goes on the website, and I suggest others do
as well.

That is really not fair. I gave people well over a week's warning before
implementing the archives, and a very obvious announcement as soon as
the pages were actually made available. I recieved no objections from
anyone.

The only way anyone could realistically feel this way would be if they
subscribed AFTER the announcements and weren't aware of the
archive. Most of the recent subscriptions have been from people filling
in the form on the web pages, so they obviously ought to know, er,
what's on the web pages!

I have, at your request, removed your brother's address from the
archives, and if anyone else has anything else that they would like
removed, I'm more than happy to oblige.
