Ryan,
How interesting is was (sic) to find my name in vain (sic) on the Internet for
everyone to see. Please remove it now. Do you really want to have your papers
out there for all to see?
Thanks for your offer of assistance regarding plagiarism. I hope you are
finding productive ways to channel your technological expertise. Good luck,
and God bless.

I have previously removed the name of a former employee from the same university from my website due to a polite request from her son. Since these circumstances are different and refer to what could scarcely be called a scathing remark (the other content that I removed was clearly embarrassing to the subject), I am currently considering what course of action to take.
And, as is the SOP for all personal website authors in these situations, I am posting all correspondence.
