Re: [Killietalk] Disappointing eBay Listing

[Joel Antkowiak <mrkillie at optonline_net>]

You are obviously missing the point. First of all, the roster is not published to PUBLIC domain. As Tom Grady has pointed out, the AKA is a PRIVATE organization, and the roster is intended for the PRIVATE use of its members. It is not intended to be in the public domain. That is why you need to log into the website with a password to get to it. I personally don't think any harm will come from it, but it may, and that is the point. I know several people had previously expressed concern over the info's availability on the website. It is just a sad state when one of our members has determined that he should make a buck from from the other members' personal info. Perhaps I won't renew this year afterall.
