> I'd like to see, at the least, a prominent statement on the website maybe like: "Postings on this site are permanently archived on Goggle and other search engines and are visible to anyone who accesses the internet. These posts can be traced to your home internet address."
It does say at the top of every main page:
> What you say may conceivably be used against you.
And next to every "submit your post" button is a link to:
http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/faq.html#privacy
Which includes:
> What you post is public, as public as if you put it up on an old-fashioned bulletin board in a supermarket. Maybe even more so, since there aren't supermarket bulletin board search engines.
Regarding tracing posts, I don't think "anyone who accesses the Internet" can do that...
