Nothing I did seemed to get anyone's attention so I started emailing Yahoo twice a day until they did something. I finally got it fixed as they were sick and tired of me.
Someone on Rootsweb WorldConnect actually posted MY snail mail address!!!! I politely wrote to him and asked him to remove it. No response. I wrote to Rootsweb and received a "sorry but that's between you and him" response. This was over a year ago. My address is still there. Nobody has contacted me or anything, but it's the principle of the thing. I also have a very extensive Fisk/DeForest genealogy. My belief has always been that if someone ON THOSE PAPERS requests the information, I see no reason not to give it to them. Besides that idiot above, only one other person has put everything on their WorldConnect site. I wrote to her and asked her to remove all living people and she graciously complied. Karen Eddy in CT
