Anything on here can be found by googling

That's why those of who are aware always advise people to think twice about what they post.

Mind you, at the moment, it can be a blessing, as the advanced search is still not functioning, and GR show no signs of fixing it

It's because genes is an open site so anything posted on it can be picked up by Google

It's why personal info shouldn't be posted on the threads ,and is why helpers do point it out to folks when they post full dates of births ,emails addresses etc
