I don't understand the purpose of this list, or who compiled it. Why is my email address and name on this random list? I found it by googling my email address.

I appreciate any insight, as I am not savvy with these matters.

You could ask the
Administrative, Technical Contact:
, flowers@broadwayflorists.com
VEL General Enterprises Ltd
678 West Broadway
Vancouver, BC V5Z1G1
CA
604 876 9237

From WHOIS.

Looks like a security problem.

I once googled my super duper ultra secure e-mail password and I found someone had it as a user name on a forum. :(

I used upper case, lower case, numbers and symbols and someone was using it as a username. :jaw-dropp <-Me

Or contact boris.reitman@pliantdev.com

That domain lets people see the directory, and I found this in a directory called "mycard"

To learn about how you ended up on this list:

Do you live in Vancouver?
Did you give away your private Email on dubious sites/for Email news etc.
Did a friend give it away?
Was your email openly published on a Webpage and thus being picked up by a bot searching the Internet for email-addresses?
