<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I would appeal both to you and to = anyone who might quote anything of what Rob has said in a reply, to PLEASE, PLEASE be careful.  I'm sure this is something that is happening unwittingly = by ALL parties, including you, Rob, but you are systematically revealing a LOT = of information about a person who quite likely (and probably) does not want = to be found.  This is a dangerous world, and there are lots of weirdos = out there.  I've been stalked before, and with far less identifying = information out there by which I could be found.  Your client is no = different.  In the course of your discussion, you have revealed:</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>her first name</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>her last name</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>her street name</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>an undoubtedly "colored"

face=Arial size=2>a description of = approximately where on the street she lives</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If I were some predator who got his = kicks hunting down transgendered people (and there are indeed such predators, as I can = personally attest), this would probably be enough information to find = her, just by hanging out on P Rd., just behind some topless bar.  There are = also employment ramifications.  Once your posts hit the search engines, = it would also be enough information to pull up a hit on Google, discover her = transgender background, and fire her from a much needed job.  (Yes, I know = you say it's obvious to see, but she may be pretty rough around the edges as a = new transitioner.)  Almost all transgendered people are fired from = their jobs, once their transgender status is discovered, and employers and = coworkers do snoop around to find such information.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>To be perfectly honest, Rob, if you had = revealed this much information about me, you could expect to be served with = papers for a lawsuit any day now.  I'm 100% dead serious here.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Besides not revealing any more = information, is there some way to edit the archives to delete this information?  Please??</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Also, Rob, and this is where I appeal = to you to be a better person, it would be wonderful if you could contact this person = to let her know that her information was inadvertently leaked to the Internet = but (hopefully) bottled back up by whomever administers the archives.  = She really needs to know, since it's a personal safety and an employment security issue.  I've tried reaching her myself, through what = channels I have available to me, and I've not been able to do so.  (I could = of course probably find her in person if I were in Los Vegas.)  I = would greatly appreciate your trying.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Finally, Rob, on a personal note, = nobody views himself as a bad person, and very few people set out in the morning = thinking, "Hmmmm, what terrible thing can I do today?"  I accept that you're = not like that.  However, developing situations do culminate in otherwise = well meaning people doing horrible things.  Most assaults and murders = are NOT premeditated.  I hope you can recognize that your attitude is as = likely to culminate in an act of aggression as the San Andreas Fault is likely to culminate in another earthquake.  Hopefully/probably it will not be = a serious act, but it could be.  It could even be murder.  = You're not immune, ya' know.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT
