This is not "my" directory.  It is listed on your webpage.  The listing of
my name is yours.  That is a misappropriation of my name, for your
commercial benefit, and it is unauthorized, and you are requested to remove
it immediately.

I am an attorney and Chairman of the American Justice Federation.
