Not only do I get it, but there are things I wished I had known 10-15 years ago when I was doing battle with a series of forums who were trashing a few people on a totally unrelated forum. Trolls, people who track your personal information– and information about your family — as well as try to harass you at work. All these things add up over the years.. and when you realize someone is stalking you.. one has to get REALLY smart and prevent that. How can one do that now? By taking all the steps you listed in your book (and a few others I thought of because of implementing the things in your book that I hadn’t already done).

Your book is a bible for ANYONE and even those people who are start-ups, techies and VC people who think they know everything.. no one knows everything and there is always something that gets left undone by someone less informed.

You turned a very complex subject into something easy, simple and accessible. Now if I could just hand it to all my clients and get them to READ it and implement it, I would sleep easier.

Your book is remarkable.

Hi Stevie,

What a ride we’re having with your phenomenal post! Thanks so much for putting the attention you did into really checking out my book.

Glad you’re enjoying it so much! It makes me feel wonderful to have it appreciated by somebody who “gets” the material so well.

Thanks!
Lori

There are ways to clean it up.. and get it off but the trick is finding out where it is on the original site (which might be dead but cached.) or getting the site to remove it.– eventually it will drop off google. that’s the funny part..

I have a friend who is now a senior legal officer in a major publisher. And something he did as a child is STILL indexed on google (he’s 55 or so). Scarey stuff…
