And in some countries (at least France) you need to declare the existence
of a list you constitute from personal data (names, addresses, etc...)
and the persons referenced in your list are always granted a right to
be removed upon a simple request. This right is scrupulously respected,
and I can say that I've successfully used it many times to be removed
from advertisers' lists.
Anyway, I don't care much about Jon's list right now.
