    I usually just assume that people will be sound asleep by the time they get to the part in my race report where I discuss my specific finish time and placing in the results.  There's always the chance that somebody might make it to the section wide awake, though. 

     

    Not true Sir..not true.  Although on occassion, I have had to fuel up on coffee, I have in fact stayed awake and read every word of your reports.  I've gained lots of information (of the educational variety) from you.

       I can tell you that my husband searches Google before hiring people.

       

      Namtor, sorry I misspelled your name.....and I am, in fact, Glinda the Good Witch.

       

       Oh my. Well I just "googled" you, Glinda, and looky-looky what came up!Shocked

      (I sure hope your husband doesn't discover this!)

        Whoever gave the heads up about Spokeo, thanks. I searched for myself and it's obscene the amount of information they seem to have. I don't have a FAIRLY common name, but I share it with a few other people in the country, and I was the only one in Pennsylvania. I immediately sent them a request to remove my listing, and then searched for my husband. He has a much more common name than me, but he also had multiple listings. I sent him a message (along with a link to his profile that includes THE STREET WE CURRENTLY LIVE ON - at least mine was attached to the apartment we moved out of a couple years ago) and told him to remove ALL of his listings.

         

        It lists his parents and sisters, for goodness sake. And that's just the "free" info. Ugh. Disgusting and disturbing.

           Um, yeah. It also lists many of the places I've lived around the U.S. over the years. One funny thing is that it lists my house value at $1 million, even though it is only a fraction of that. Would love to get a realtor to agree, but more likely the town tax assessors would agree.

           

          Now, how to you get off that thing, again?

            For obvious reasons, they hid it pretty well. I had to go to the Google. http://www.spokeo.com/privacy

             

            It gave a value of $250k for my apartment. Too bad I only got my security deposit back when I moved out. Sad


            not lazy, just tired

              This is kind of alarming. Oddly, it lists the value of our house as less than what we payed for it in 1980.

              Not if it makes sense.

                I just skimmed through the pages of this thread...very creepy stuff.

                 

                All of my information used to be available on my website, when I had my own business.  I ended up with a stalker for years.  I finally met my stalker, and we're getting married in March after 10 years.  How weird is that?

                    Wow.  This guy now sounds like a crazy.  I wonder if he was ever a runner.

                        runmomto3boys - That sucks that this creep contacted you (and others) this way, I agree that it's a good call to mention it here

                         

                        BTW - When I was reading the OP my name definitely jumped out at me before I finished reading and I thought for a second that I had caused all the drama. I was pretty confused before I reread it, but it's all good now.

                         

                         

                        By way of background, I didn't know him from Adam when he first contacted me. 

                         

                        I'd never known about the Google Image search of a username... I guess I'm not surprised that was possible.
