Just fire and forget your complaint otherwise it will take on a life of it's own, like this thread.

If your website is successful in any way this will happen. You need a closure stategy in place and name /shame, do it by the proper sources and ignore adice from "experts" who tell you they think they know, or tell you what gets thiefs worried.

I've got to say our Terry above is a prime example of people who think they know just because they hung around long enough and troll out the same bad advice as they did 5 years ago. It is doubtful this has happened on the same scale to him.

Terry just to explain and not having a go. But the bad guys that really harm have their own servers, those that can hurt you will not remove content following your advice. On a low level i guess you could be right. I only have experience of the type of complaint the OP describes with real websites, with real traffic.

Dubbya told you the steps to take.. i'd take them. Don't rely on the wayback m/c...it can be distorted.
