To see what would happen, I Googled my name, in quotes, and this is one of the images that have popped up:

It's an image that CANOEDOGS posted in 2013, but, according to him, he removed it. Even if you delete an image from the Internet, it remains on the Internet.

Yep, if you post something you can count on it being out there forever.

Of course it is permanent. This is not news.

Curious timing, though: I've been contemplating a career shift, and one of the interview topics would surely be my public/social media profile. I don't have one, on purpose. But if pressed, I would not hesitate to have them survey my posts on this forum. WYSIWYG, and I'm quite comfortable with that.

Google does not give everyone the same result even if you google the same frase.

I’m pretty sure my employer would direct me to stop posting publicly if it came out who “chaosmagnet” is. I work in cybersecurity and I don’t do anything “secret squirrel” but our social media policy is pretty strict. I do have an unrelated Facebook account that I keep quite “clean,” used mostly for pictures of family and friends.

I don't work in cybersecurity; like you and many other ETS members, I do not use my full name. I only use my first and middle names.

Dad named me after the French Christmas carol, "Un Flambeau, Jeannette, Isabelle." However, he spelled my name with a single N instead of a double N.

A dedicated sleuth with a lot of time on his or her hands could probably figure out my secret identity given time! I've got a forum presence going back around 20 years, most of with one or two user names (and one is my given name!). But I mostly don't post much that's controversial and if anyone has the ambition to "out" it's not a big deal.

That´s me behind the stove.
