There are 71 people in the U.S. named me

There are 3 people in the U.S. named my wife

By the way, this site is wrong.... we checked my wife's maiden name, which according to whitepages.com has like 10-15 people in the us (all her relatives) , but none come up here.

I wonder if there is any harm in tying my name to my ip on some site I've never visited. :p

Q: How long do you retain data?

A: Raw log files, including such data as IP address, operating system, browser type, as well as some information are kept for a 3 day period, at the end of which they are aggregated into a format that makes discovering any personally identifiable information difficult.

The search log including individual searches is processed approximately weekly. During processing data connecting individual users to a particular search is removed.

That's interesting because I share the same name as my father; you'd think there would be at least two of us.

Sqube = teh unimpressed.
