Default Security precaution

This is just a precaution involving information that you post on TOTV (or any forum for that matter) A few weeks ago I provided my golf Handicap Index page so that the questioner could see how it works. Unfortunately I didn't realize that my security HASH code was embedded within my link. As soon as i realized it I removed the link from my post.

But it was too late. Google must index this site (TOTV) since that link became public knowledge. Just Google "Isaac Russ Petel" and you'll see my link to US Handicap although now it won't work without a new login.

It's not a big deal I just changed my PW but I thought you might like to hear the story.

More often than not, "Big Brother" turns out to be "Big Business" trying to find out as much as they can about you. Large corporations are the biggest spies in this country, and they're spying on us to figure out how they can part us from our money.

I'm sure that it is less onerous than that :joke:

Google's search system is just that good. This was just a note to say that we need to be cautious.

Have you all googled your own name lately? It is sometimes surprising. My 18 year old granddaughter has two pages of google! Nary a one for me. :dontknow:
