Leaving no trace on the web or in life . . . .

[Anthony Hoppe]

I'm the opposite.  I actually like that things like this show up via
searches.  If I'm applying for a job and my future employer "Googles" my
name and/or email address, I want them to see that I am active in these
sorts of forums.  I want people to see my contributions, whether I am the
original poster who poses the question and is asking for help or if I'm
answering and offering assistance.  Though this only applies because I work
in IT.

Perhaps I'm weird like that...
