I just posted my findings about stealing recordings and reposting them on other platforms...
Now I searched for my Midnight in Moscow tune made with the Integra posted one or two days ago, and look what Google presents me:

The Internet is a mess and similar to a mine field in an Arnold Schwarzeneger movie.

Here's my brief story.

I take great pains to keep all personal ID info off the NET. I post NO info, no tel #'s, nothing in emails. etc.

A few months ago I GOOGLED my birth name. This came up:

Name ABC (me) associated with (all my family members and their addresses and phone #'s). Here's the kicker: I have one bank account and I named my father the beneficiary about 15 years ago. So my bank info reads: "Name ABC POD (payment on death)to (my father's name and address and all HIS personal info).

Now the only person/company who had that POD statement was the bank. So how did that get out there on the Internet? Any way and all ways.

You might say "who cares" about who knows "what" about me. But when Identity Theft rears it's ugly head and someone requests a tax refund from the IRS under your name, well, I'm hoping your tax refund is under $5.

This Internet system is the best thing and the worst thing that ever happened to honest people. It's a playground for villains!

Hi
Search robots find what related your search term, and since there are pictures/avatars in the tread, it will often pick what it find. In a couple of days/weeks, it will show more pics from the tread as well, as long as it match your search term.

Seek, and you will find..... Maybe Gary will show up next time too. smile
Modern times they say.

Of course you're right, these are robots, but as the pictures come up one day after posting something in the forum, it shows how high the ranking of Synthzone is in the list of websites to be crawled.

Well, I decided to google my name, and the only thing that came up that was remotely related to me were a couple photos under the images segment. However, when I googled Gary Diamond Travlin' Easy there was loads of stuff, including several of my old magazine columns.

Now, it also said that I was on Face Book and Linkem, which I'm not, and I believe that saves me from a lot of identity problems that others many be encountering.

I've never had a problem on Facebook. You can choose your security and privacy settings.
However, once anything is put on the internet it is pretty much there forever!
