Just checked my contacts again, and John Henry Thornwaite seems to have been erased!!!!

Yep he has departed

what a relief!

No response from Genes though to explain

that,s good to hear ,i looked at mine last night ,and it reminded me of big brother [the film] i had at least ten .Fred.

He has departed from my tree contacts to, perhaps he's going to see if he can come through gillians thread instead, when she sees her medium. [or maybe our rellies weren't up to his standards] lol sandra

Yes he had gone from mine as well ,would like to know if GR have removed him or the hacker has done it himself .Please respond GR and let us know if you have done something . Thanks Val

Gone from here, too.

Hi , just beeing nosey but who is John Henry and why are you all pleased he is gone. Margaret xx

There was an earlier thread about him- basically he mysteriously appeared in the contact lists of loads of members- and was nothing to do with any of them. GR seem to have removed him after several people e-mailed, but noone is sure how he suddenly became our mutual relative.

thanks Ann, I found the other thread ,seem's like he is having a laugh, just checked my contacts and no John Henry in there . Margaret xx

yep, JHT has gone without even a goodbye Janet.

Hi everyone, This error has been fixed. There was no breach in security. It was caused by a latent database error. Thanks to those of you who wrote in to notify us of the problem.

I was very intrigued to know what a 'latent database error' was! Why do people have to use a technical term instead of telling us in plain English?! Hubby says that it is an error 'waiting to happen', ie the name of John Henry Thornthwaite appearing was an indication that there was an error looming which would make the database crash. Well it might not be a perfect explanation but it makes a bit more sense to me than a 'latent error'! And I never had JHT anyway:( Mandy x

I was just busy wiping all the contacts away when I discovered he'd gone. He didn't even say hello or goodbye. Strange man.

Hi folks, Just switched on and received a reply from GR saying: Thank you for bringing this to our attention. This problem has now been resolved and the details corrected. Please accept our apologies for any inconvience caused. Abuse Administrator. It's good to see that they have sorted it out but an explanation of what caused it would of been nice.

hi all had a message from g.c. apolagies for mistake ,name deleted regards catherine

I e mailed GC but havent had a response from them

Glad to see the back of him anyway, but GR could have explained it a bit better! Maggy

I've lost him to but no explanation Ernest
