Give Tracey a chance, she was just trying to help and perhaps didn't realise that it was not a good idea to post this type of information on here. I only just read her post at about 16.38 and replied to her immediately.

You have given her only 13 minutes to read my suggestion and for her to remove the name and number. Possibly she is at work and hasn't even seen it yet.

It's nothing to do with Tracey, really. It's some third party's personal info sitting on the internet. There's no malice in reporting privacy violations like that. It's purely in the interests of the people whose privacy is invaded.

And I'm sorry, but how anyone in the year 2010 could not realize it is not a good idea to post their own name and telephone number on the internet, let alone someone else's ... the mind boggles. Nonetheless, I don't think anyone reports such violations to cause anyone else trouble, and I know I didn't. The purpose is to prevent trouble for the person whose personal info is on display.

How about sending Tracy a PM, maybe she has not revisited this thread but has her e mail on. It would be a shame Janey if you have got her suspended for trying to help somebody.

For pity's sake. Nobody gets suspended for this. Really. Nobody. On TTF, people report this sort of thing all the time, whether or not a poster has been asked to delete their info.

This really does have nothing to do with Tracey or anyone else who posts third-party personal info. It has to do with protecting the personal information of a third party.

I realise the reason and agree with it, but people are suspende for stupid things these days so hope you are right.

Thought you'd like to know that my IT guru updated my system just recently. He did not change my disk drive but almost all of the other components have been renewed.

The messages I was receiving in Word and Excel have now disappeared. I dunno. Maybe when you renew your components it takes them a while to sort that out. Anyway I no longer have to click on remind me later.

Has anyone messaged Tracey about the name and phone number. No argument that it needs to be removed.

I have pm'd Tracey as suggested.

On the disc problem I still get the message and our computer guy has no idea why.
