Gentlemen,

Do yourself a favor and google yourself.

No really. Pull up google and type in your own name.

Then think about what what might happen if someone else did this (a
potential employer, a new girlfriend, your mom...)

I ran across the following post by our buddy Paul while looking for pages
that have my email address posted. Just a minor sample of what you might not
want someone to find when googling you.

BTW, the reason I'm searching for my (work) email address is that the
spammers are starting to infect that account. My personal account is already
a trash bucket, getting some 400 spams a day. I refuse to give it up, so now
I get to wade through the trash at spamarrest.com to find any gems. About
half the people that get caught in this challenge/response system actually
manage to self-authorize, the rest I have to do manually.

<sigh>

When are we going to fix this problem.

Oh, and by the way, I now work for an email marketing firm
(www.britemoon.com) so I'm particularly interested in getting the problem
solved!
