I made several attempts, but they all ended up as new comments, while the  
original text was unchanged.

I guess that after I added the bug comment I'll have to wait a few days to  
see if anything happens?
I also sent a mail/request to that listwrangler@.. address.

Problem is that I was contacted by one of those whose data was now made  
public, wondering how this could have happened, as I've told everybody  
that info on living persons would not be made public.
It is quite embarassing..
