I got the following from Irene, who was not too happy about her email being posted:
It was brought to my attention that my personal email address is listed in post #3 on the following thread: https://bigblueball.com/forums/showthread.php?t=23118
This has resulted in several unsolicited emails and the unwanted distribution of my personal information. The instructions contained in that post are incorrect; please remove it as my information was posted without my permission.
Please also investigate and take appropriate action on the user who posted the comment, UnSaKreD, as your forum policy states that users should not post personal information for other members. While I am not a member of this site, I believe this should extend to anyone who has not given their express permission to have their information publicized on your site.
Thanks,
Irene
Yahoo has publicly posted email addresses for problems (like support@yahoo.com). Irene’s email address may be for work, but it’s apparently not intended to be public. I’ve sent an email to Irene apologizing (and confirming that she in fact sent me the message). If I hear back from her, I’l contact UnSaKreD and tell him not to post private email addresses again.
