Anyway - try this... Go to GOOGLE.COM
Type in "John Dunkle Gun".. You see what posts up??? Cool.. Now finish the complete search on my websites... Got it??? Next type in my location, and get a street view of WHERE I LIVE...
When I told some of the PGCA PUNDITS about this issue (technology EVOLVES - and it's up to "us" to keep pace"?) their reply was "Frankly - I could give a damn" along with why it doesn't matter....
It does MATTER. So to those "who couldn't give a damn" - I'll be better by not burying my head in the sand and claiming ignorance.
Just my $0.0002....
And oh - BTW - try the search with your OWN NAME IF YOU HAVE POSTED ON THIS FORUM.. Tell me how that works out, OK???
The good news is that, with the programming changes today - those hits on Google and all the other search bots will disappear shortly....

FINALLY!!!!! --- A man with common sense who can see farther than he can spit...
John, some of the same good points you've mentioned here today were raised a couple years ago by several people smart enough to know what the long term effects would be regarding this situation, but unfortunately one or two short sighted "PGCA PUNDITS" with their limited knowledge and personal agendas of wanting everyone's name posted on the world wide web superseded any security issues that would eventually exist from such careless thinking..... As a result, many good folks with the exact same concerns you have mentioned actually stopped participating on the PGCA site altogether, and many others who had been regulars became occasional posters and distant observers... When someone with no understanding of long term consequences and "NO IDEA WTF they are talking about" makes a decision that adversely effects everyone, and then later follows it with a reply of "Frankly - I could give a damn" along with why it doesn't matter to them, THEN IT'S DEFINITELY TIME FOR A CHANGE.
HOLD FAST JOHN, STAY THE COURSE, and continue to choose the smart... I agree with you, poor choices, blind ignorance, and keeping your fingers crossed is not the wise mans path, and if you have the opportunity to make it better, then fix it, period... Thanks again for your continued
(common-sense) efforts here, and for once again allowing us a modicum of control over our privacy on the PGCA site...
Signing this with the DISPLAY name I was told I could no longer use a few years ago... Best,
CSL
