Tell us what is wrong with it

This directory is built out of public records, and public records go stale. The people who know a listing is wrong are the people standing in front of the business. This is how they say so — and how anybody locked out of an account gets a person rather than a form letter.

This does not send an email. It writes your note into the site itself, where it sits in a pile with a count on it until it has been read. The address you leave is how you get answered.

The only thing it is used for is answering you.

A correction with a source attached gets acted on the same day. Say where you saw it and it can be checked rather than taken on trust.

Why this is not an email address. It used to be one. Mail to that address was being refused at the door by the mail host — a soft refusal, the kind a sending server retries quietly for days before giving up, which means nobody who wrote in was ever told their message had not arrived. Corrections were being asked for and thrown away at the same time. A note written into the site cannot do that: it is either saved and counted, or you are told on the spot that it was not.
