I could be wrong, and often am, but I think when [merlyn|people] get upset in discussions of CB history persistence they're really upset about <em>intentional</em> persistence.

There's a huge difference between (a) you and [tye] having a conversation in a restaurant where someone overhears you, and (b) you and [tye] having a conversation where another monk is following you around with a tape recorder.

We can't help it if Google keeps pieces of conversations, and it's getting tougher all the time as the search engine wars heat up. I get hundreds of hits a day from search engine bots at my little site that nobody knows or cares about. Now, because of stupid little conversations between me and my brother, I get hits at my site from searches for "randy newman" and "abercrombie t shirt". So your warning is really good for someone who's likely to say things in the CB that he'll regret later (like me). But you, [EdwardG], have an important life lesson to learn here: never, ever be ashamed of a good Three Stooges impersonation. They, like Irish accents, are too often imitated and too seldom perfected.
