Thanks for posting this.
fyi and ping list
Suppose, for instance, on Amazon.com, an individual writes a review of a book under the site's promise of anonymity.
Suppose that review is of a political or controversial book--
Suppose that reviewer or writer comes back later, only to find his personal email addressed posted for all to see? This could not have happened without Amazon deliberately using its own merchant files, which it probably did at the request of the books's publisher or author.
Is that in any way similar to this incident? Seems like privacy was violated...
BTW--I know of this actually happening.
