No surprised here, as I frequently use the listserv's web interface to post messages, suspend mail from the list, (my e-mail has some issues with replying to the list) and know that the archives search function is not password protected, while the posting and other user administrative functions (Set nomail, digest, etc.) are password protected. Also, having plugged my name into search engines, I know my postings to this and other lists, and Yahoo Groups can be found. That among other work related public posting rules (yes we have them) is why I don't mention my current employer in postings or use my work e-mail for list purposes. Those who know me well enough, or that search in other places know or can find out where I work.

However, I just googled my employer's name + my name and the results were shocking. I found some of my list postings on the internet! Being that the nature of the list is to query peers on records management issues and problems, I'm not very comfortable knowing that I'm making my employers problems available to the general public. I realize that any time you send something via the Internet, you've lost control of it. But I didn't realize that my list threads could be googled. I'm just curious if I am the only subscriber who is surprised by this. Thanks. Terry List archives at http://lists.ufl.edu/archives/recmgmt-l.html Contact [log in to unmask] for assistance
