You have all been wonderful with help.

I have had contact with Adrian Smith, the CEO of tripaudit.com, the company that owns that particular Web site hotelratedesk.com as well as the partiucular employee, Maira, that was responsible for this. They express to you all their apologies and have assured me that they made a mistake and were over-zealous - FlyerTalk being simply too tempting. I have asked that any email addresses taken from FlyerTalk be destroyed.

Again thanks for all your help and concern on this matter. The member account for those involved has been cancelled.
