I remember the first time I Googled myself--I was scared to realize that once it is out there, it WILL be found. 9 pages of me. Yup--Big Bro was watching all right! Over the years the results have been more interesting. I've found myself quoted in books--so charming! Some things I had forgotten about turn up and make me smile or laugh. Other things where people have blatantly copied my writing--not so much. Annoying. The moral of the story you bullet-pointed is spot on, Barb! ❤
