Not the Talks one James.

Any public info on the internet is indexable by Google.

Indeed it had been my intention to target unknown people through the list in the hope that I would perhaps find someone who could assist me constructively.

I think the rule best to observe is not to send any messages to any list you consider sensitive as you really don't know who members are and who can access your Emails. I certainly would not say anything on this list I would not be prepared to stand over in public.

Perhaps you are all aware of our e-mails being on-line. Maybe someone or George will tell me what the situation is in regard to access-uk. I was searching for information on Google regarding Open university course W300 which I am currently studyng and horror of horrors my search brought me to this link. //www.freelists.org/post/bcab/Fw-The-Open-University-OnLine,23 This is BCAB communication between myself and other members on the list. i had no idea that this was then posted on Google for the WORLD at large to read. Can someone direct me to the rules which state that such information of a fairly sensative issue gets posted on-line. True I made my feelings known through BCAB and I was aware that I was communicating with a group of visually impaired computer users but oh dear me, I did not know that 5 months on, I could read all this through Google. I am a member of the Talks list for the blind and in order to read Archieve material there I have to put in my username and password. That at least confines the information to the list members.
