Thanks Vincent.

I sent a note to the person who took the content. It seems he was
subscribed under a separate email address (had to be him) from 2005. I
sent a note and asked him to remove the content. I said if he did I would
consider it a misjudgment on his part and leave it at that.

I went on to say that if the content was not removed I would contact
blogger, google, etc. etc. I said my ultimate goal would be to have his
site closed down that what he did was copyright infringement.

I think I was totally reasonable and just pointed out the facts. I went on
to say the group's archives and messages are closed to the general public
and search engines and have always been.

We'll see if I hear back.

I will see by Monday.

I am in the middle of getting ready for my card site's grand re-opening and
I have already lost 1 1/4 days already on this. My production time was nil
today and considering the grand re-opening is in a few days that is not a
good thing.

I would be willing to turn my back on it IF he removed the content because
of the above.

He destroyed in a few days the privacy and trust it took me to build in the
last nine years.
