Well..identity theft is very real...and I agree with Gabbix that even using a made-up name and having it show up over years in a search engine just doesn't feel "right". In many ways I wish Dr. Bob could have
made the boards a bit more secure from search engines, but I don't think, using the BBS system he does, that there is any way around it.

IMHO..
