signed myself onto any.

Me:
where did you get this shidduch list, and from whom?

i would like to contact the person who gave you my
personal email address, if that's not too much to ask.

thank you

that website is my Chatan's website.

that link goes to an announcement about our engagment
party.

1. do not use his website to gather email addresses
for spamming.  you will be reported as a spammer.
it's illegal to do that.

2. i find it interesting that you saw my name and
email address on an engagement announcement and
decided it was a shidduch list.  you need to be much
more careful about what you're reading and what it
means.

 - i haven't heard from him since.  : )
although i'm starting to realize how bitchy engagement has made me...
