Hello,
In general I have no interest in responding to "LinuxLearner"'s
trolling, but he has made some accusations which I feel I need to
set straight for the record. This is a publicly archived mailing
list and his unfortunate post may be stumbled upon by anyone.

I have no idea why it doesn't appear, but anyone who believes that
we hold personal data on them is welcome to contact me offlist for a
copy of our DPR declaration form as sent to ICO a couple of years
ago. They have certainly had no qualms in taking £35/yr for it ever
since. The form isn't very interesting though as it's just the
template for "Internet service provider" i.e. basically:
Purposes:
Accounts and records
Subjects
Customers and clients
Classes
Family, lifestyle and social circumstances
Goods or services provided
Personal details
Recipients
Data subjects themselves
Ombudsmen and regulatory authorities
Suppliers, providers of goods or services
Transfers
None outside the EEA
It's all very vague.

I have not made any accusation of DPA non-compliance in this thread,
and I would urge anyone reading this to not take allegations made by
"LinuxLearner" at face value. Subscribing to Surrey LUG and then
perusing their (sadly closed) archives will be enlightening.
Cheers,
Andy
