Sorry and a mini rant

Sorry my posting has been so infrequent of late.  It seems like once again, life gets in the way, and frankly, I'd rather knit than post.

Our knitting group has doubled in size.  This is great and awesome and I really like all of the new people.  It has brought on an unwanted problem.....there are too many people to keep up with all of the conversations.....I wish I could multitask conversations....cause I know I am missing something juicy on the other side of the room.

Mini rant ahead.

I have always taken great care to not post any identifying information or pictures of my family on the internet......so I get an e-mail today from my daughters spring soccer coach with a link to the team blog.  The team blog is a new thing which the new coach has put together.

Here is the thing.  He posted her FULL name along with our phone number and our e-mail addresses.  He also has the name of the organization which runs the soccer program, and identifying information as to location of the practices.

ARGHHHH!!!!!!!

I have a call into him to ask him to remove her name and our information from the blog.  It is a public blog, so anyone can stumble across it.  I spoke with my husband and the mother of one of my daughter's friends and both of them completely got my point without even going any further than the fact that her name was posted.  My husband about flipped when he found out our phone number was posted.

I get the fact that he wants a place to post information so that everyone can find it easily, I just can't stand the fact that he didn't understand that anyone else can find it just as easily and that he didn't think it was important enough to ask the parents.

You should post his SSN on the internet, then ask him how he likes it. LOL!

You are completely in the right to have the rant. You know me well enough that I'm the same way with privacy. I can't believe someone in his position would even think of posting that type of information without consulting the parents. That is completely irresponsible. What an idiot.

What a dumb butt, my husband would have a heart attack if someone did that...hmmm maybe someone should do that! JK

I finally had to e-mail him, he didn't return my phone call. He responded properly and removed most of what I asked for, but left one of the e-mails....which of course uses my last name. So, while his e-mail was nice and accomodating, he still really must not get the whole point.
