Has anyone noticed an obvious hole in the new DNC Registry? Anyone can start sending delete requests to remove another person's phone number from the list. Since they don't save anything about the request other than the phone number and date (see Privacy Policy; they don't collect e-mail or IP addresses), a devious person could remove your phone number from the list. Simply go to the webpage, enter a phone number and a throw-away address from YAHOO.COM. After receiving the confirmation e-mail, simply reply YES. Why didn't they require delete requests to come only from the phone as opposed to annonymous web requests? matthew black network analyst california state university, long beach
