Subscribers to MoveOn.org's mailing lists may have found their interest in the anti-Bush political site a matter of public record.

A Web page misconfiguration left dozens of the liberal political group's subscriber pages easily searchable through simple Google queries. Each page included a subscriber's name, e-mail address and the mailing lists to which he or she is subscribed. CNET News.com confirmed that several related searches turned up more than two dozen individual subscriber pages.

2. holy hell!

that's why friend and I were put on "suspicious" list and not allowed to buy tickets to Cheney event.

It's been driving me nuts wondering what I had done.

3. If they really want my name and email addy, I don't really care.

My delete key works just fine, and I can still put senders in my block this sender too!

If they think they have an in here to change peoples minds, I think they are sadly mistaken. All that junk mail will just make people madder than they already are!

15. Me, too! After all, I'm the guy driving around

West Texas with the MoveOnPAC sticker "Nothing Accomplished".

Know what? No one has griped about it, and I have seen one W04 sticker in this city of 100,000.

I think it's going to be good.

I always think about who is seeing the information when I sign up for stuff. I actually toyed with the idea of signing up for some stuff from MoveOn, and now Im glad I didnt.
