Internet Phone Directories

[William Harris <wharris@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I apologize for this general mailing, I generally wouldn't do such things if I weren't sure the majority of the people might be interested in such things.

it has recently come to my attention that, among the services provided by the internet, there is a searchable database of telephone numbers.

using this database, anyone with a listed phone number can be found, using their name address _or_ phone number.

the information which can be acquired using these services include all of the above, and a map to your front door.

a listing of the services can be found at

these services are technically legal by simply republishing public information found in the white pages. the fact that they combine this information with a mapping program can be a bit unsettling to most people who value their privacy.

Most of this information can be removed, or edited, and I am in the process of removing the more vital information about myself and my family.

feel free to forward this to anyone whom you think would like their privacy to remain private, and thank you for your time.
