Re: [APML] OT: Open Directory

["Chris & Jennifer Cook" <ccjd@ix.netcom.com>]

I have not read all the fine print yet but what I want to know is why is my
website listed when I never signed up?
This is a quite suspicious.

There are also many other APML members listed.  A quick scan brought up
Chuck Vaughn, Jon Kolb, Tony Hallas, John Boudreau, Chris Schur, Phillip
Perkins, Jeff Ball, Marty Germano and Rob Gendler.   Did all you guys sign
up for this?

Looks that way to me also.  Why would anyone sign up for this?
