Alta, I don't think even a tin foil hat can keep one from getting in trouble on certain threads. Basically all one has to do is show up and post.

Ok, you have completely lost me - but perhaps that was the plan. Alta, you know you could never be in trouble with me. Nobody's in trouble here. Even me - she may think I'm harsh, but I know Elisa still loves me anyway.

Well, yeah, duh. But Lianne, I also disagree with you about Google. In my experience, Google returns random, irrelevant results all the time. I know that their secret algorithm is supposed to rank results by relevancy, but in practice, I don't see that happening. I think part of the issue is that they are constantly rejiggering the algorithm to try to stay ahead of webmasters who are trying to game the search engines to improve their rankings. Elisa |

Another issue with Google is you have to be the site owner to have something removed. I have been dogged by just two search results I am unhaooy with, an in one case the site is long-abandoned and the webmaster is off the net while in the other the site is long-abandoned but the still-around webmaster refuses to take it down. In both cases, I have no options, and that bothers me because it is my name these pages are associated with, nomatter who owns or does not own the page.

I can see why members, especially those who have been with VF longer than I have, would want to read old threads, but I still don't see the pressing *need* for this thread to be archived publicly for all times. Since this will be my last post on this thread, I'll just say that Wendy has spoken, and I support her decision. |
