Alan, I just googled your name and could not believe how many times the GR or FR sites are mentioned as the source. Is this to do with them claiming copyright to information on this site. Maureen

I've just tried it for me on google - none of my posts show up. I wonder why some of yours do? One of the internet's mysteries I guess.

I have decided to change my name on genes from my actual name of Alan Tennuchi to that of 'Alan From Cheshire' I have done this to protect myself. It would appear that all posts from this particular page appear on the internet in general. Let me explain. If you were to 'google' your name, the info that you have put on this particular section of genes, appears on the internet and is available to all insundry without them having to initially visit the genes site.
