Roger,

Yes I did!

Later I looked at the replies I sent to QRZ and saw the email had the
Call Sign W0ODR in it, so I went to QRZ and looked at both My page and
W0ODR's page and saw My email address on both pages.

So I sent a message to QRZ to tell them about that a few days ago.

I haven't heard from them yet, and haven't thought to check QRZ to see
if my email address was taken off W0ODR's page.

Another ROUNDTUIT!   . . . .    . .
