Lynn, The latest from RR on my complaint is a request from them a couple of days ago. The wanted to know what my timezone was and even though it shows up in my email header I had to send it to them again before they would look into anything. I have not had any additional response but the offending web site is no longer at the same IP. Whether he has just moved on or RR has reprimanded him is unknown.
