I think it is a good lesson to do what Chuzzlewit has indicated. Most searches are not intelligent and if your name is in a website, the search may find it. I have done a search on my name in the past and have been surprised also. Not that I really care too much, but I understand why some may be concerned. I will also occasionally look up my family name and see if some of my relatives have web sites. Also, I believe most of us are listed in an internet phone book and it is a good exercise to see if you are. SI does not do this, but if you have ever registered for a contest or at a website your information can be sold to interested parties for promotion or sales. Always read the disclaimer and understand the rules before you do anything on the web. I would not call it paranoia, but being diligent in the control of your personal information. In fact, I think I'm overdue for a search on my name. I check every few months.

Dear All, I have been engaged in disamenitious cognitive ponderosity regarding the implementation of my life time Silicon Investor membership. Pecunious concerns aside, for monetary matters are not the primordial sunstantive issue here, my professional operational functionality impedes upon my ability to devote even a minimalistic modicum of my otium cum dignitate to outside pursuits such as this noble forum. My absquatulationary abruption should therefore not be interpolated as a negation of the multi-heuristic tendencies engendered by the mostly phalanxian members of Silicon Investor. It is therefore imperative I trajectorize my energies into my new paper for the Journal of American Linguistics entitled Communicatory Patterning and Dissembling Amongst End Users in the Post-Millennial Hyper-Cybernetic Flux. I have enjoyed the multifarious interfacing and will always remember Silicon Investor for its many layered pastiche of consentaneous conviviality mixed with a healthy dose of dissonant disharmonious dissension. Let me leave you with this wonderful saying which I believe captures the essence of S.I.: Il y a fagots et fagots; tot nomines tot sentiae. Sincerely Reginald (Reg) B. Arturo
