From Snopes, the final note says that asking to have things taken off seems to have no effect, and it's entirely possible that part of their business model is getting email addresses from people trying to opt out.
But if the world doesn't end, I'm gonna need a note.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I'd take the chance of spam. My Flickr is private, God dammit, and they're still showing pictures out of it.

Speaking of the flooding, it looks like RWA National is definitely not going to be in Nashville-- they were investigating trying the convention center/multiple hotel route, but that's not going to work either since the damage is so widespread and things are in such a massive state of flux.
They should hold it in Providence, say the weekend of June 26. Bet they could get a deal!

Just taking a quick look, most of your pics are marked "Anyone can see this photo." We are friends on flickr but I was able to log out and see your pictures.
(And that Louie, boy, was he a fine looking dog.)

Yes, he was.

Yes, but I put my settings so it won't be searchable via search engines.

If my understanding of these things is accurate, it doesn't make them unsearchable, it just adds some code that asks search engines to not index them, assuming the search engines play nice.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yeah, that's how that works.

My favorite "Are you fucking kidding me?" moment: RWA should have had a contingency plan in place with reservations at another hotel/resort, just in case.
You can't be too careful. You never know when the Cumberland might crest at its all-time high.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
If the search engine isn't playing nice, then I would imagine that a) NOTHING is unsearchable and 2) they probably have no qualms about sending viruses via spam if you legitimize your email address through opting out.

You're right.
I'm also really not in the mood to change my online behavior due to the local online bully. You have any idea how long it took me to trust social networks, to begin with?
