I hated to hear that others besides you were affected by the old pen pal ad ordeal.... I happen to know of several sites where the people who started them up run everything really well for years one that used to be very popular was even up and going smooth for over a decade and then I guess they just abandon them or never update them even if they need to or should. At least most websites from long ago/outdated/not being used any longer end up disappearing from the net these days. But some still are around on google and other search sites which makes info STILL show up even though it was last posted/written in as early as 1997 and then abandoned from the looks of it since 2005. I do not know why the site continues to run, with no one to even contact to remove their ads and such.....someone still has to be paying the webmaster fee to have it up there but they just are not changing it. Rest assured this is not a site you were ever on, its just a good example of how that still happens unfortunately. And I hated to hear that so many got in trouble over website owners who post things as personal as pen pal ads and never think to update/check up with the person regarding their status. Overall though, alot of the old websites are disappearing and thank God the few that are not are dated or no telling what would happen. Although it does suck that there are people finding these ads and writing to the addresses only to find out later that the ad was 10 yrs old and the person is no longer at that institution or that address, etc. I hope your new blog is going well and that everything for you regarding your hope for a truce and otherwise is well also. Sending the best of wishes and also, thanks for including a entry about Milo Rose on your original blog site, Ive found his case very interesting and have replied to him via this website also.
