Your Real Name (and Date of Birth reminder)

[hermit]

Of course. The potential problem is that the identity of the person behind the accound is a little fuzzy. Send us a list of all of the e-mail and IP addresses you've used in the past, and we'll be sure not to delete the wrong hermit. That's once you've actually requested deletion, of course.

Well, last time the key words were 'we'll do our best'. I'm simply waiting to make sure you can do this correctly. I don't want to be 'orphaned' from posts that I have no ability to answer. I can provide email addresses, but IP addresses would be impossible. I currently work from a fixed IP, but that has not always been the case.

Check the 'inbox'.

I've become rather fond of you, Hermit. Can't you just make up a name and birth date and then we can all move on. Heck... I'll even loan you mine! I hope you aren't planning on leaving.

I think the whole thing is silly and unnecessary. I will either leave or make up a last name, like Sparrowhawk. I have already provided a fake birth date, though the year is correct. Or is it? Silly, silly, silly.

Thanks, but this is a done deal. The mods have agreed to start wiping out my existence on this list.

In Europe, unlike the USA, we have data protection legislation that protects us from our private details being shared with others without our permission. There are 'safe harbour' agreements that U.S. organisations can enter into to provide the same level of protection. Is that being offered?

I agree with Wayne. It's silly. Is it a consequence of post 9/11 mentality? If it can be known just to the moderators what is it good for? Sparrowhawk counting? Ok, just birdwatch.

Mark, we have a published privacy policy not to share private data with third parites. See the FAQ for that.

Then I'll trust you to keep to that. Update done.
