His address was already posted on the internet, just not for the purposes of hilarity.
No it wasn’t. 11th Signal got an email and then posted its contents.
I’m with Sprog he’s not going to want to publicise it further…
Again, missing my point. Whether he pursues it at all is irrelevent. It’s just a shitty thing to have your personal details published on the web without your knowledge when you have done nothing wrong. All I’m saying is we should do the right thing now we’ve had a laugh.
And, no, I don’t live near Gloucester and my name is not Lee 😉
What he purchased was legal – he just cocked up* slightly by mistyping his email address. Maybe it wasn’t him, but someone at the sex shop on the phone who mistyped it? Who knows? But he did not post his address somewhere public – someone here got the email and decided to publish the full details for the laugh. And it was funny.
Of course he won’t take XDC to court. Missing my point completely.
However, XDC could be in breach of its hosting contract by posting personal details of an individual without their consent. To be realistic, it is likely that the T’s & C’s aren’t that specific and nothing would ever come of it. Bit that’s beside the point.
Put it this way, if someone posted your full name, home address, and telephone number on the internet would you be happy? Or would you demand it be taken down?
I’m really not trying to get up my own arse here – I just think that the joke has had its time. Let’s do the right thing and remove the details.
* You see what I did there? 🙂 [/i]
Yeah, but he was using it to back-up some mad non-sensical argument about double standards. Erm – I think. I kind of lose the will to live when reading his posts……
My concern is completely independent of the git – I just think it’s a bit shit to leave the guy’s full address and phone number up on the site when we only got it by accident. Was a great laugh at the time, but surely the moment has passed?
Let’s face it, if it was his order from Amazon that had gone astray, rather than a sex site, nobody would have posted his address up would they?
Oh FFS! 🙂
When you take up a phone contract, you are giving your permission to be listed. But you also have the option to go ex-directory. It’s a choice.
Completely ‘effin different.
This guy has no choice (and, currently) no knowledge that his address is being repeated with the express purpose of getting it publicised by search engines.
It’s just a bit shit, that’s all. We’ve had the laugh – hell, I even Google-mapped him, but the moment’s gone now….
I didn’t say the DP act applied – I said it would if we were a commercial operation.
But the T’s & C’s of XDC’s contract with the website host may need checking – which is what I said originally.
Personally I would be well pissed off if someone posted my address on a public bulletin board, and would probably pursue the webshost/ISP for breach of privacy and demand they removed it.
The No10 argument does not apply – it’s a public building, not a private residence.
I agree with Doc & WET too. I think he is a bit if a dick, but that’s not reason enough to ban him.
If he annoys you, don’t bite.
All together now……”Love is all around, dum dum dee dum….”

A forum is actually a normal database file with a fancy front end.
Well yes, but it’s not a customer type of database such as say a bank or company from which you had acquired services, and that they keep your details in order to provide that service. I.e. we a re not a commercial organisation using the details for commercial gain.
I disagree with Legit saying that all the clues were in the lead up episodes, so therefore it wasn’t a spoiler.
Of course it was a bleedin’ spoiler – you say what actually happened in the episode not what you thought may happen given clues in the the leadup. And there was so many blioody alternate futures that it’s a daft point anyway. The original visions said New York was destroyed. Well, may as well have stopped watching after the first couple of eposides then….
I don’t understand how something coming up on your PC means your mobile phone gets charged? Surely you are having to conciously do something that results in being charged money?

Interesting interpretation of copyright law there, Mr T Meister 😉

does it have bluetooth?
No – it uses an earlier generation short range comms link called Yellowbeak.
It was very coo-coo cool tech….

the wines amazing, just don’t order the lavoro-milano-primo-impiego as it gave me the shits for 4 days.
Was that the ’96? I’ve heard that was a bad year. Perhaps you should have tried the ’69?
I thought it was a menu from the local Italian restaurant. I was going to reply and ask to see the wine list.

Here’s a classic quote from the Great Man:
Sir Patrick said: “I was in hospital once and I watched a whole episode of EastEnders. I suppose it’s true to life. But so is diarrhoea – and I don’t want to see that on television.â€ÂÂÂ
