Interesting Google Topic

[Puma]

Just for the halibut, I decided to see if I could Google the thread I started here a couple days ago re Allan W. Eckert's death. It was the first item up in Google, without the responses others had added, but, on the Google board it identified me as the author and my reputation level by the verbal description. Aren't the rep levels somehow protected? I was really surprised to see it show up in Google. Puma

No; they're actually there in plain text if you look at View Source.

Thanks, Medievalist. I rarely think about the technical side of this board (probably a good thing). Puma
