| I read about it in the paper; had not heard of them before. Tried it, liked it, hope they keep on with the same format.

| Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I'm a bit leary about search engines that I"m not familiar with so I gave it a test drive. It had a 411 file on DH, a file that we have tried to delete from the major search engines. I'm going to test drive it some more. But here is the info on the GP from meldy. |
Here is a link that might be useful: meldy

| It always amuses me to see what comes up when you do a search on your user name (or on my name). If you do it within the GW forum, it will mostly be posts within that forum, but doing it on a general engine search is like reaching into the magician's hat. There's no logic, no date-order, no reason that I've ever been able to figure out as to what will show up. Granted, I don't post much any more, but why did a 2005 posting come up along with a 2011 post? Search results can be weird. WestG ~ ddgo is just a linking search engine minus the ads. As we've all said many times, anything posted on the internet is open to the public and that includes anything posted on GW. |

| meldy, I"m not knocking duck duck go, I'm just testing it. Yes, I know that everything we post is on the internet forever, and somewhere, somehow it will pop-up. I was on the net when google got started and I freaked out when I saw some of my posts and some of my personal information show up. That's why I look every search engine in the mouth. |
