Would a message to "delete" produce a reply telling me I was not there? A message to "delete" produces a reply that simply says they will honor your request. It does not say whether your request was necessary. I know of no way to determine whether you are listed. If you do want want to be listed and if you have posted any news messages at all, it would be safest to assume that you are listed. If you are concerned that they will collect your address from your message to 'delete@whitepages.com', I would suggest: *Copying their statement about 'delete' from your local library's copy of their book; *Sending a message to 'delete'; and *Saving their reply plus their printed statement. Ask your system administrator (if you do not already know) how to print out a copy of their email reply that includes as much information from the message header as possible (not just 'to:', 'from:', 're:', if possible). Save a copy online as well (preferably in your mail system's files, not "exported"). All of that said, I think whitepages.com would be doing themselves a disservice by collecting addresses from the 'delete@whitepages.com' address. That address is only used by people who actively assert their desire to have no listing. It would seem foolish for the whitepages people to deliberately provoke such a group, and I think such action unlikely. But it never hurts to keep records. -- ------------------------------ From: William Hugh Murray <75126.1722@compuserve.com> Date: 10 Sep 94 13:52:01 EDT Subject: Big Brother is Dead "I am teaching at a university in the United States in the political science and legal studies areas. I would like to discuss specific areas of privacy rights (credit records, medical records, government documents, etc.) as well as looking at privacy as a value competing with other values in our society." The magazine section of last Sunday's New York Times carried an article suggesting that technology had killed "Big Brother." The thesis was that cheap technology has so empowered the individual that the major threat to privacy was the "ten thousand little brothers." That phrase rang a bell. I recalled that the first time that I heard that phrase it was in the mouth of the an official of the US Postal Service. The first time that I saw it in print, it was attributed to the dhief counsel of the NSA. It is true that the TRW's and Equifaxes of the world represent a threat to privacy. So do the banks, insurance companies, communications carriers, and the media. However, none of them threatens tyranny. Government can protect us from them but they cannot protect us from government. Threats to our privacy from "little brother" or ten thousand little brothers or ten thousand thousand are not of a magnitude with that of one big brother; they do not threaten all and they do not threaten tyranny. As we fight to protect our privacy, let us keep our priorities in order. While the very existence of records invites abuse, it is not records, per se, that threaten us, it is record keepers. Among record keepers, none is so zealous, jealous, or persistent as governments. Among institutions, none is so persistent as tyranny. -- William Hugh Murray New Canaan, Connecticut ------------------------------ From: wayne@arrow.HIP.berkeley.edu (Wayne Christian) Date: 10 Sep 1994 23:49:57 GMT Subject: Re: Bank Account Numbers Organization: University of California, Berkeley skypatrl@crl.com (Albert Zhou) says: If the bank decides not to give you money back, then you have to try to collect it, possibly taking them to court. If it's a small amount, you probably don't want to spend a lot of legal fees to pursue it. So you lose money. If you it's a charge on the credit card, you can simply refuse to pay. To get money from you, the credit card company has to initiate legal actions against you. If it's small amount, or if they don't think they can won, they'll just forget about it. So you DON'T lose money. See the difference? Actually, there is no difference although I do understand the point you are trying to make. Reversal of charges by the Credit Card company is subject to the discression their customer service office, just like the bank. My experience with Credit Cards is that they vary quite a bit in how willing they are to believe the customer, and my experience with EFT reversals is that these are processed immediately without first contacting the merchant who submitted the bill. You may seem to be getting an immediate refund from the Credit Card but all they are doing is suspending collection while they investigate with the billing merchant. They very definitely do have the right to reimpose the charge and report you as delinquient if you do not pay. ------------------------------ From: "Shabbir J. Safdar" Date: 11 Sep 1994 23:24:19 -0400 (EDT) Subject: Action: Fight US bills: SB 2375 & HR 4922 Organization: Voters Telecomm Watch (vtw@vtw.org) ************************************************************ DISTRIBUTE WIDELY (though no later than October 1, 1994) ************************************************************* [If you've only got 2 minutes, skip down to the "What You Can Do" section.] The FBI's Wiretap bills (also known as the DT - Digital Telephony bills) mandate that *all* communications carriers must provide wiretap-ready equipment so that the FBI can more easily implement their court-ordered wiretaps more easily. The costs of re-engineering all communications equipment will be borne by the government, industry and consumers. The bill is vague and the standards defining "wiretap ready" do not exist. Furthermore, the FBI has yet to make a case which demonstrates that they have been unable to implement a wiretap. There are fewer than 1,000 court ordered surveillances per year. Even if all of them are wiretaps, and even if all of them require the changes mandated by this legisation, are we as a nation prepared to build eavesdropping features into the phones of 250 million people, in order to justify these wiretaps? None of these wiretaps has been demonstrated to be unimplementable, nor has it been proven that the cases could not be made with other methods of electronic surveillance. The Voters Telecomm Watch (VTW) does not believe the FBI has made a compelling case to justify that all Americans give up their privacy. Furthermore, the VTW does not believe the case has been made to justify spending 500 million Federal dollars over the next 4 years to re-engineer equipment to compromise privacy, interfere with telecommunications privacy, and fulfill an unproven government need.

Your Representative Tell them you are opposed to the FBI's Wiretap legislation. Feel free to use the sample communique below: SAMPLE COMMUNIQUE ================= Dear __________, The recent Digital Telephony bills (HR 4922 & SB 2375) disturb me greatly. The FBI has not yet made their case to the public that we need to build wiretap functionality into the telephones of 250 million people to justify wiretaps which have not yet been proven to be difficult to implement. The bills would clearly compromise the privacy of all Americans with no counterbalancing benefit to either law enforcement or the public. The FBI has not demonstrated the need, and the cost is uncalculated, but is known to be at least 500 million tax dollars. Furthermore, the standards are undefined, as are the bodies that would enact these standards. For these reasons, I am opposed to the Digital Telephony bills (HR 4922 & SB 2375). Sincerely, _______________________ If you get a response from your legislator, drop us a note at vtw@vtw.org. We track legislator positions on privacy-related issues such as this one. For more information about the Digital Telephony bills, check the Voters Telecomm Watch gopher site (gopher.panix.com) or contact Steven Cherry, VTW Press Contact at (718) 596-2851 or stc@vtw.org. VTW posts a Digital Telephony FAQ monthly to several Usenet newsgroups including comp.org.cpsr.talk and comp.org.eff.talk. Look for it or contact us at vtw@vtw.org for a copy. Washington insiders say the phone calls and faxes (especially to Rep Jack Brooks) are starting to attract significant attention, and many people prophesize that the bill won't even have time to pass this session.

Mazur" Date: 09 Sep 1994 00:44:58 -0700 Subject: Inviting Respondents to Ethics Assn. Survey FORGIVE ANY CROSS POSTINGS! California State University, Long Beach, has organized the National Conference on Ethics in America for six years. The conference brings together a constructive mix of academicians and ethics practitioners. Over the years there have been innumerable instances when, for example, a bioethicist, a philosopher, a police ethicist, and a corporate ethics officer realized for the first time they had much to learn from each other. And, too often, an ethics center director has proudly described her new project, only to learn that another center is doing the same thing. There's nothing wrong with duplicated research, but both directors unknowingly told their sponsors "no one else is doing this." In response, the Conference's executive committee is considering the creation of the American Association for Applied Ethics (AAAE). Though you may feel the LAST thing needed is ANOTHER association, we wonder if there are unmet needs in the applied ethics community. For example: * an applied ethics information clearinghouse, where one can call or e-mail and have any question researched/answered regarding an article, bibliography, etc. (most ethics centers have too few resources to effectively serve everyone's demands) * an applied ethics newsletter, which succinctly presents information about activities/trends/advances in one field or center of ethics/applied ethics that may benefit all others * legal/legisative updates; as more persons apply ethics (members of city ethics commissions, media ethicists, legal ethicists, ethics consultants, those responsible for preventing science misconduct, members of hospital ethics committees, people who deliver continuing education in professional ethics, etc.) there are more legal cases and issues that affect ALL who apply ethics We envision AAAE serving all those whose jobs specifically focus on ethics or ethical issues, philosophers and other academicians, and ethics centers/institutes. As applied ethics becomes more prominent in our society (there are more centers and more people "working in ethics" today than ever before), we feel that maybe AAAE can someday serve the applied ethics community like the ABA and the AMA serve the legal and medical communities. If nothing else, we can assure that those who apply ethics constantly benefit from academicians and others who study/research ethics. If you're interested in commenting on this idea, we have a survey that can be mailed to you. It is already being mailed to 1,700 members of the applied ethics community, and we'd be happy to send you one if you KNOW that you will complete and return it. It is only two pages, so it should take only 5-10 minutes to complete. If you'd like to receive a survey, send your regular mailing address to me via e-mail at "tmazur@scuacc.scu.edu". If your responses suggest we should go forward, we will seek the support of significant leaders throughout the community and apply for a funding grant to create the association. Thank you! -- Tim C.
