Why are all of my previous posts here including my home phone number and email address showing up on a google search of the first part of my email address? I was surprised to see this. This is not from a search for the website or the forum, but only a search for part of my email address. I guess everything shows up on the internet now! :)

That is correct any post you make on any forum is fair game for a search engine. Unless it is prevented from being search such as the other 401st BG forum. This type of forum is readable by any search engine....... and why I would like to move away from this type of forum and stick with the new forum.

Josie - This is one of the reasons why I try not to have my email address posted on any of the forums.
I am especially sensitive to this now since I don't want tons of SPAM invading my home email now that I am the Webmaster for the 401st.
I have also discovered that the email forwarding for our site does not appear to work as advertised...

Josie - email forwarding is on the new forum not this one.
Rick - I had no problem forwarding a message to you.

Donald is correct, this forum is unsecured from 'bots and anything posted on it is there for ALL to see. This is why I never post my real email here. It could be made more secure, but that would require time and effort.
The "new" forum (http://www.401stforum.com/) on the other hand, *IS* secured from this kind of prying, which is why I recommend if you are concerned about this kind of intrusion that you post there.
BTW, Josie, how's your uncle doing? If you remember, we met on the 2005 trip. I hope all is well.

Oops, I should have added: if you are concerned about posting on the "new" forum or have any issues, Donald, Jackie and I are there to assist, just let us know.

Thanks for all of the replies. I appreciate the info. I wish I would have checked into that sooner.
My Uncle is doing very well, thanks for asking. I am flying to CA tomorrow and we will then head to Ohio Tuesday for the 8th AFHS reunion this coming week. He is feeling strong...still doing push ups and other things that his Dr. tells him not to do. His reply, "I've outlived all of my Doctors!: :) True, true.
He frequents the Senior Center, Costco and Trader Joe's as he is interested in cooking healthy dishes and just cooking more in general. I just sent him a large pan a few weeks ago. He's still studying several languages and he just returned from a visit with his brother in Fresno.
We enjoyed a tour of Italy in June for a couple of weeks and will take a cruise to Alaska next month. He has the travel bug right now since he had really good stamina in Italy. He keeps saying he wants to do and see as much as possible before he goes aloft. I'm trying to keep up with him in the process since he is retired and I work full time! :) Ha Ha...
We truly look forward to our next 401st reunion when we can enjoy everyone's company in person!!! :)
Josie :)
