In the case of the IRTC proper, (and this may be the result of my not having
read carefully enough) my actual first name and last name turns up in the
results and, consequently, my entries turn up in a in a Google search of my
name.  ( a fairly minimal exposure to potentially malicious activities on the
part of those so inclined I grant you)

In the case of the TC-RTC, a fairly private email address (the one which I use
for POV-Ray and other fairly serious graphics contacts... .i.e. not a "throw
away") turns up alongside my name.

Although I try not to be the "paranoid sort" with regard to life in general,
I've seen SO MUCH pettiness, vindictiveness and all around nastiness on the
Internet, that I've (reluctantly) adopted the practice of going to relative
extremes when it comes to maintaining my privacy in public forums.  I did NOT
mean to imply that the IRTC has acted irresponsibly in this regard, only to
urge those involved in setting up the new IRTC to take privacy issues
seriously.  Thanks for your concerned reply.

Best Regards,
Mike C.
