[LM_NET] Off topic: Privacy Issue

If you try to manage your privacy like I do, you might be shocked like I was, to 
learn these people are not only collecting information on you, but happily 
disseminating it without your permission.  If you want to make them stop, they will 
do it one of two ways, through reputation defender which will cost you money, or 
they will remove it from only their site for free.

If you want to make them stop their site from giving out your info, these are the 
steps to take, look yourself up, copy the URL, then go to the privacy section (real 
tiny at the bottom) on the main page and open it, paste in your URL and do the data 
entry. Supposedly this will make it stop on their site.
