Subject: Fox Affiliate's Incompetence Exposes Private Info of 
600+  People
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
Status:   

This message was sent out to over 600 people this morning:

	
Your email was obtained from a file open to the public located 
on Fox 45's website at: http://www.wrgt.com/mail.txt

This file not only contains your email address, but your 
mailing address, comments, and anything else you submitted to 
Fox 45's website (Dayton,Ohio). 

A simple examination of the submission form, formerly located 
on Fox 45's (www.wrgt.com) website, pointed us straight to the 
file. We immediately informed Fox 45 of this gross violation 
of privacy through repeated faxes and messages. While they took 
the submission form down, the file remained for anyone with 
internet access to see. Our address is in there as well.

After repeatedly failing to make progress with Fox, we decided 
to email all the other people at risk. 

Fox's blatant incompetence in dealing with this matter reflects 
a media we've come to expect (especially Fox): sloppy, irresponsible 
and arrogant.

We encourage you to share your feelings with Fox 45 (and/or us) and 
help us force Fox into taking action:
	
	WRGT-TV FOX 45
	45 Broadcast Plaza
	Dayton OH 45408
	Phone: (937) 263-4500
	Fax: (937) 268-5265

Our e-mail address is blackflag@blackflag.net.


Note: This e-mail is being sent out one time to e-mail addresses 
taken from the aforementioned file obtained from Fox 45's website 
and/or members of the media in an effort to increase public 
awareness. We apologize if you received more than one copy of this 
mail; we have attempted to remove duplicates from the list we 
received.
