The Internet Isn't Just for Porn

You can actually track down folks via registrations they made years ago when the world wide web was made up of about 10 people.

After I got that call and the last Cuervo prize winning group left, I found my way to the mainland and borrowed a computer. There was nothing spectacular in my mailbox but knowing there was some sort of looming message in the universe with my name on it, I figured I should check my alternate email addresses. This is what I found:

From: "Donna D_____" <[REDACTED]@attbi.com>
To: [Redacted]@yahoo.com
Subject: [NAME REDACTED] CREWS
Date: Sun, 30 Jun 2002 20:53:14 -0500

Kambri,

I am sorry to bother you. You do not know me. My name is Donna and I am married to a deaf man by the name of Jerry. Jerry is VERY good friends with a DEAF man named [REDACTED].

Is [REDACTED] Crews your father??? Please call me at 817-318-8*** or 817-797-5*** asap if this is true.

I looked your name up on the internet. If you are not the daughter of [REDACTED] Crews... please accept my apologies for disturbing you.
