Just because it is possible to get info such as my email address or other info, does not mean I am happy when somebody digs and gets info and contacts me.
How would you feel for example if you got a letter from somebody listing all kinds of info they obtained about you and saying they obtainedit because it is part of public records?
I am simply saying you may get a bad reaction if you dig up and then use info readily available on the internet. .

Well, the internet is public. It seems to me that anyone whose email address is obtainable by googling has to expect emails from anyone looking for them. I've looked for people and not found them--e.g., Tom Lehrer. By googling him I found that he is a professor emeritus at UC Santa Cruz, I think it was, but even going through the university directory I couldn't find an email address. I was looking for someone else, too, at a business, but there was no email address--just a regular address and, I think, as phone number. As Chela says, the person contacted doesn't have to answer and can thereafter block the sender's address.G.Cindy***WISH LIST (CALLED REQUESTED ADDITIONS TO THE BOOKSHARE COLLECTION)IS AVAILABLE AThttp://people.delphiforums.com/jamiecalton/Book_Requests.htm http://www.friendsofbookshare.org/ http://studentpages.alma.edu/~07jmyate/book_requests.htmA LIST OF BOOKS CURRENTLY BEING SCANNED IS AVAILABLE AT http://people.delphiforums.com/jamiecalton/scanning.htmlJake's site for useful links: http://www.jbrownell.com/bkslinks.html --- On Wed, 6/25/08, E. <thoth93@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > From: E. <thoth93@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>> Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: contacting people who leave no email address on bookshare when submitting> To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Date: Wednesday, June 25, 2008, 6:26 PM > It may also feel like having an unlisted phone number and > having > somebody contacting you because a detective was able to > ferret out the info. > > People who want to be contacted leave email addresses with > submits. > > > I have never contacted anyone using the search method I > mention. > > I only mention it to prove how small the blind community is > and how > careful we need to be with anything on the net we expect to > keep > private in any way. > > E. > > > At 09:15 PM 6/25/2008, you wrote: > >Yeah, true, if someone wanted to contact me and if they > were smart > >enough to do so, and if I didn't want them to do so > because maybe I've > >been violated by them before as an example, I see the > point in > >blocking them and sending them to my Gmail Spam Mail. > > > >On 6/25/08, E. <thoth93@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > > Like a said, if somebody contacted me by finding > my email on a search > > > engine I would feel personally violated. > > > > > > Just warning you anyone you contact this way may > feel that what you > > > have done is sneaky. > > > > > > E. > > > > > > > > > At 08:40 PM 6/25/2008, you wrote: > > >>Great tip, thanks a lot, Chela > > >> > > >>On 6/25/08, E. <thoth93@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> > wrote: > > >> > If you want to contact Judy Jones try > putting > > >> > +"judy jones" +blind > > >> > > > >> > into a search engine. > > >> > > > >> > You need your punctuation turned on to > read the search line I just > > >> > wrote. > > >> > > > >> > Her name and email address comes right > up. > > >> > > > >> > I personally find contacting somebody by > locating email addresses on > > >> > search engines a bit discourteous but > that is me. > > >> > > > >> > By the way, one of the other notorious > submitters can be found > > >> the same way. > > >> > > > >> > E. > > >> > > > >> > To unsubscribe from this list send a > blank Email to > > >> > bksvol-discuss-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > > >> > put the word 'unsubscribe' by > itself in the subject line.
