I have no idea how someone got this information. Or why someone would upload my documents to this website. If you look at the website docstoc.com, it looks like other private documents many other folks are there too.<br> <br> I have been sick to my stomach knowing that someone has violated me and posted my private life to a document sharing website.<br> <br> Secondly, how do I get these documents down and wiped from face of the internet as it were?<br> <br> Thirdly, why does this site have (apparent) right to have and post my documents. Aren't they violating my privacy?<br> <br> I don't want the whole world to know about my love life, or my career confusion. tag:ask.metafilter.com,2007:site.76320 Thu, 15 Nov 2007 08:38:32 -0800 docstoc privacy Anonymous
