For nearly two years, I've been trying to get the OSU archive site to
remove a Jan `94 version of my FAQ from their site.
http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/hypertext/faq/usenet/transplant-faq/faq.html/
There are people who continue to find this outdated version of this
medical FAQ that has been updated and posted monthly since Jan. `94.
These people need to find the new version. For some, the information is
critical. The old information can be worse than useless.
Each time I've corresponded with webmaster@cis.ohio-state.edu, I have
asked politely that they just remove it (though the last time I may have
gotten a little excited). Each time, I took them at their word that it
would be fixed or removed. Each time, nothing was done.

This is a serious problem. Since their site is so prominent on the net,
their displaying outdated information is seriously screwing up my work.
If anyone has a useful suggestion of who to contact, or how to get their
attention, I'd be grateful. I figure that, at the very least, they have
no right to display my work when I've explicitly forbidden them to do so.

* There is no justifiable reason to deny organ donation, but many myths and
misunderstandings.
* Next of kin must allow donation. Your family must know your wishes.
* Only a small fraction of the next of kin of potential donors allow
donation to take place.
* In general, medical professionals do not recognize their obligation to
support and promote donation.
