    3. Dear Friends, I just received this URL and went out and checked it out. Sure enough, there were the names and birth dates of all of my immediate family, along with their addresses and Zip codes! This is not good! There should be something one could do about the privacy issue. I personally do not want this kind of information out on the web. I followed the instructions printed below in this letter, and removed our names and information. It takes time to do this. I just thought all of you would want to know about this web page. Our personal information should not be out there on the web! Flora ================================== Hi everyone, I just received this from another list member. Since I found myself listed and have deleted me and family members, I thought I'd better pass it along so you could do same if you wanted, I personally do not like the idea of my personal vital data on the Internet. Bobbie [Speir] Jarvinen. *************Original Message************** I have been made aware of a website that lists everyone and their birthdays. It is www.anybirthday.com I have already deleted many of my family members. If you do not want your family members listed here are the steps to delete them. At the main page go to the bottom of the page, click on FAQ. On the next page go to How Can I remove and click privacy statement. On the next page scroll down to "Opt Out Option." Click on it. It will take you to the page to delete yourself and family members. You will need the persons first & last name, birth date and zip code to delete. To remove more family, repeat the steps. ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET! Juno now offers FREE Internet Access!
