Re: OT: Archives linked to Google?

Official response from John:
We did nothing specifically to link our archives to Google. Google just found us with their web crawler. The iris-talk archives have always been open to the public.
I don't know that there is anything we could do to keep any webcrawler out, nor am I sure that we would want to. At the moment I really don't have an opinion on the issue regardless of whether we could do anything about it or not..

Greetings.

Have the Iris-talk Archives always been linked to  Google?

I did a Google search a few minutes ago and was horrified to  find
material
I posted here myself ten years ago roll right up in the search results. When the link opened, the whole shebang was right there, including email 
addresses and such.

Was it  always this way?

I'm still waiting for an official response to this question,  please.
