Is this intentional?

UG is searchable by google, any post their spiders have walked over. Since CL is known to be trolled by LE, would it not be better to apply the appropriate code to block search engines? I haven't been in the game long enough to know if this is an issue. Although I guess I'm living up to my handle.

Make sure your handle is used only here. The rest is as sure as getting hit by a car.

a little paranoia is a good thing in this hobby.

I would tend to agree. If possible I would suggest blocking searches on UG postings. There are some very smart people out there who can use information in unforeseen ways.

Or use names like mine that has some 3 million hits, before the search site gives up.LOL

Souldn't you be going to someone to have your handle googled? j/k

That's fantastic advice - also make sure your handle has nothing to do with your actual name, occupation or location. If your name's Rick and you live in Georgia you do not want "atlantarick" as your user name.

As previously stated you absolutely do NOT want to choose any use name you use on other forums where obtaining your real name could be easy.
