I suspect that the typical user is not aware of the privacy ramifications of posting on sites such as this. I'd like to see, at the least, a prominent statement on the website maybe like: "Postings on this site are permanently archived on Goggle and other search engines and are visible to anyone who accesses the internet. These posts can be traced to your home internet address."
I think we are still in the early stages of the evolution of the internet. It's pretty much self-policeing now. Eventually the governent may step in, for better or worse.
Yes, isn't it interesting that it's so easy to find someone's address, phone number, and a map to their house. One search engine even gives you the person's age.
warm regards ~Jake
