The story in a nutshell:
I founded a collegiate organization ten years ago. We had a website on angelfire that has since been abandoned. It was probably 2002 or so when it was last updated.
One of my classmates has been contacting me asking for her name to be removed from the website. I told her once before that I couldn't help her, but now she's being irritating.
Here's her message (edited for privacy):
Hey [Senusret I]!
Wow - it really looks like you have been tremendously busy building out this __________ effort! what else is new?
Can you please help me out? I am trying very hard to get a link to my name broken to the original ______ website that was created years ago. i Have even had a professional company try to go it but they say they cannot reach a webmaster. I need this done for professional reasons. Was this you or _____ or _______ or what? I would really appreciate any guidance.
This is the website:
www.________.com
and the email listed is.......@ .......
Thanks in advance!

My response:
I have told you before that I have no control over the ______ website. Judging by the last time the site was updated, I doubt that even the oldest of the undergraduates have access to it.
I can't imagine what professional reasons would cause you to have your name removed from an activity you did ten years ago. I think it's best to let it go.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

I know I was a bitch. Moving beyond that, can anyone help me understand a logical reason why someone would disassociate their name (not even a picture, a NAME) from a website from an activity they did ten years ago. For the record, this isn't like an abortion club, coke snorters anonymous, or anything like that.
