Missing from the FAA database now

My Dad went to show a friend of his the FAA database and that his son is
a pilot. It didn't find me so he called me. I checked and low and
behold it didn't find me. It now even asked me for a state or country
to search! I had requested my address not be displayed very shortly
after getting my license over two years ago and the database just always
said something like "address not available".

So this morning I use the link to send a question to airmen services.
And in less than 4 hours get a response that I have a PPSEL that was
issued on XX/XX/XX and on XX/XX/XX they received notice that I didn't
want my address made available to the public and my information would
not longer be available to the public. What amazed me is that I'm
removed from public view in the database. What was even more amazing
was getting a response from the FAA in a matter of hours!
