Hi -- Well have you ever googled your own name? I did that for myself and
was amazed at what all came up -- stuff I never knew was public, some public
stuff I worked on at at&t that I didn't know was on the search engines,
posts to mailing lists that had the arcives public, etc. I didn't see my
address coming up, but I wouldn't be surprised if that were there too.
Now that makes me wonder -- is google really your friend???*smile*
Happy surfing.
--le
plus as you say, the mailing lists with public archives.

Subject: Are the programming list archives private?
Hi all,
Quick question I'm hoping someone on this list might be able to answer. I
used Google to search for an FTP server, and I came across some information
regarding flash FTP, and since I already use this app, I clicked on the
following link just out of curiosity:
//www.freelists.org/archives/programmingblind/10-2007/msg00993.html
I was freaked out when I discovered that the message Google found was a
message I posted on this list last October. I'm wondering if I can do
anything on my end to prevent my replies from being found when someone
conducts a Google search. Since I found my own post from some 9 months ago,
I think its pretty safe to assume all of our posts are 100% public, correct?
Can we change this setting for this list?--if the bulk of us are interested
of course.
Thanks,
The very internet naked Matthew
