I'm not paranoid at all about my posts here, but in the past, before PC, on another forum, everything I posted was plastered online for anyone to view, and someone did, in a stalking manner. I had no idea of this till the person revealed to me how he had read all my personal posts on that forum. That was a hard lesson about internet privacy (as there is none!).
Well, remember that Google knows what sites you visit most and displays those first. So, what comes up first for you doesn't come up first for someone else who doesn't visit PC.
Thanks for this!
