There was some talk about whether or not we cared if our names came up on

Google or other search engines. Alex had talked about changing something

so lapbandtalk came up, but not individuals. People were discussing

privacy issues.

I disabled user profiles from being indexed in Google. Almost 50% of our current members found LBT through Google. It would be a big disservice to future LBT members who'd never be able to find us in the first place.

That being said, if a member is worried about privacy, I'd suggest:

1) Use a username that has no resemblance to your real name

2) Don't make your birthday visible in your profile

3) Don't post personal details about yourself on LBT

Oh I agree that Lap Band Talk should be found on google. After all, it IS the very best Lap Band board!

I did take my birthday off. I don't really have a problem now if someone

from google read my posts now, cause I don't think they in any way

could identify which Denise in the USA wrote them.
