I'm working on it

Post #31,712 by bconnors 3/11/02 5:21:45 PM Reply	I'm working on it But in the past year I've posted a fair amount here under first initial and last name which, to anyone with time, Google, and my resume, puts it all together way too easily for me to say "It must be some other guy". Obviously, I never thought someone would WANT to check it all out but now that I know that they can, I can't hide my past. SO...what to do? I'm open to suggestions. BConnors - who will not quote Don Henley anymore, even though I can't get his song out of my head today.

[link\|http://www.google.com/remove.html\|Here] are instructions for telling Google not to index your site. Presumably you'd have to send similar requests to the other indexes out there, and adjust your HTML as appropriate. Now if Scott can be convinced to forbid Google from scanning IWeThey, you might be in business.... It's a tough problem. I don't know of a good solution. Good luck. Cheers, Scott.

He somehow hacked my passwords and tried to make me look bad! Ah anyway, you could always go back and edit your posts here or remove your web pages and replace them with "under construction" dummy pages and resubmit them to Google. If you edit a post, doesn't it resubmit it to Googgle? "Will work for fair salary and benefits, seeking company with integrity."

I seriously doubt that a substantial number of employers are looking us up here, but this isn't private. I try to stay relatively mellow here, using my real name. A certain level of accountability tends to mellow a forum. When I was doing Slashdot, and a few similar fora, I used a 'nym that is quite ungooglable. I still didn't go overboard, because that isn't my style, but I wasn't quite as careful. ---- United we stand Divided we dominate the planet without really trying
Post #32,009 by bconnors 3/13/02 12:02:19 PM Reply	Will Google remove the pages for a specific person? Or would they have to remove all links to IWETHEY? I certainly wouldn't want that to happen. What about our earlier rendition on EZBoard? Can anything be done there? Finally, who do I contact to request replacing any current references to me with an anonymous psuedonym? BConnors for the last time, I hope

Post #32,017 by bconnors 3/13/02 12:37:41 PM Reply	Done See below. Trying to find an email for our admin to request a complete name swap (if possible). I just sent an email to Karsten to make a note of this on the next IWETHEY mailer. Beetlejuice "It's Showtime!"

Post #32,040 by orion 3/13/02 1:46:54 PM Reply	Good name, heh heh heh. Obviously the "cartoon" version rather than the "movie" version. As the "movie" version spelled his name differently. *I am free now, to choose my own destiny.*

[link\|http://www.astro.uiuc.edu/~kaler/sow/betelgeuse.html\|Betelgeuse] is an orange colored star in the constellation Orion in fact marking the left armpit of Orion.

Post #32,052 by orion 3/13/02 2:58:57 PM Reply	Attention K-Mart shoppers! Hmmm, yeah I hadn't thought of that. Heh heh, next there will be an Antaeries or Rigel handle? *I am free now, to choose my own destiny.*
Post #31,773 by Silverlock 3/11/02 11:48:21 PM Reply	So change your nick now Let the world of iwethey figure out who you are. May I suggest my all time favorite never used nick, SABHIMS* Suck a big hole in my shorts. With this much manure around, there must* be a pony somewhere.
Post #31,804 by nking 3/12/02 10:15:10 AM Reply	Would anyone care if I changed mine? I have two other handles I could go by. One you guys hated, and the other was kinda so-so. "Will work for fair salary and benefits, seeking company with integrity."
Post #31,808 by Silverlock 3/12/02 10:43:27 AM Reply	What's it matter whether we like it or not? Change it if you want. Pick what you like and to hell with anyone who doesn't like it. I think we'll figure out it's you from your posts. With this much manure around, there must be a pony somewhere.
