Search for yourself, part two!

I got an e-mail response from the online internet company that had the erroneous info posted about me. Here's what it says:

Hi, David.
Thank you for writing to ZoomInfo.

At your request, your web profile has been removed from ZoomInfo. We apologize for any inconvenience.

ZoomInfo is a specialized web search engine similar to Google but focused on finding information about companies and professionals. The information found in ZoomInfo's search results comes from corporate websites, press releases, SEC filings, and other public websites."

(next two paragraphs refer to how long items stay on the web and searches)

***********First of all, I want to thank Jackie and ZoomInfo for taking action to correct this. It's sad that a legitimate online service has to be used by someone playing jokes.

The link on my (now deleted) profile went to the school district website. Given what Jackie says about how they get their information, I could easily assume that someone who has access to post material on the website did this. I hope not. Some people can be extremely juvenile. Furthermore, it would be one thing if this was an isolated incident but but the person who replaced me at my former job also has the same thing posted about them.
