Amazing!

But I'm more amazed what came up for frenchinme--3 Pages!!!!!!!

 

[Htoo0]

Whoa, I don't have time to look at all of THAT! (about 7,790,000 items)

 

[Keitht]

About 25k on my userid, but many of them aren't me.

 

[pcgirl54]

I have never searched under my Tug name. Boy am I glad my email acct is not listed because member info is there but this is a BBS. I show 1840 hits although I know I really have over 3k posts.

 

[judyjht]

WOW - there are 4 pages for me!!

 

[CSB]

I have 13,200,000

 

[ricoba]

Most of mine are for some sort of mythical online game thing. One or two has some tug stuff about me.

ricoba is an acronym for our first names.

RI = Rick (me)

CO= Cora, my wife

B= Ben our son

A= Annie our daugther

Rick

 

[Don]

Over 2 billion for mine. Most of them are the Spanish honorific, Don, or DON't. I quit looking after page 20.

So that's why I get so much junk mail on my timeshare e-mail. Punched in my user name and my Tug profile with e-mail address pops up along with most of the posts for every web forum I've ever posted to . I thought that stuff was private, that's not good. Good thing I don't have a nasty vocabulary or flame anybody

 

[royalholidayclubbed]

Now, it will be of no surprise . . .

. . . to anyone who has read some of my more colorful posts, but all of the posts on google that relate to my user name don´t paint a pretty picture of the "company of wolves" that run my timeshare !

I didn´t see even one Royal Holiday post that put them as a positive company to be with . . . . company of wolves, as I say !

 

[teachingmyown]

Wow... I found out there are two of me! The other one lives in Virginia! Guess she doesn't do timeshare though...

 

[Karen G]

Wow! I didn't know there were so many of me--doctor, lawyer, artist, judge, writer, but the most interesting: "Karen G is a Junglistic Sista"

What is that?

 

[teamjd]

Woman into music that is heavy into bass and drums.

 

[Karen G]

Woman into music that is heavy into bass and drums.

Right on! Definitely me (not)!

 

[MarTN]

My user name doesn't locate me, but apparently a lot of people misspell Martin.

 

[boyblue]

Boyblue 18,800 but just a few are mine. Boibloo (ebay user name) turned up 4

 

[teamjd]

With the horse already out of the barn, what's the point of being able to block a Vcard download from other tug members in the CP if the information is readily available from google? I guess public forum really means public.

 

[JLB]

I went several pages and did not find anything related to me.

I did find this:

Colon cancer is the second leading cause of death in America today. Protect your colon with JLB.

I'm not exactly sure what it is I am supposed to do about that.

 

[Detailor]

That's pretty funny. I got about 649 responses for Detailor. A few were my various timeshare identities. Most had something to do with car detailing, some kind of software or detail stitching.
Dick Taylor

 

[Sandcrab]

I'm there and I'm pretty quiet.

 

[chemteach]

My name brought up (not surprisingly) many educational sites for chemistry. But the username and "tug" brought up all my posts. That was fun - I had forgotten many of the random posts I put up for advice in The Lounge.

[Kozman]

Wow! I even have a foreign town named after me! LOL!

Kozman is a town in the Tavush Province of Armenia.

 

[caterina25]

Nothing for me.

How do you get around it?
