It seems doubtful to me that you could read the messages by doing a Google search only because you are subscribed. After all, how would Google know whether or not you were subscribed to this list? I just looked under my own name and was able to read messages I posted here, as well as the postings of others. But the email addresses are mostly blocked out, so someone can't just do a search on you and get your email address from looking through the messages you posted here. That's not to say that there may not be other mailing lists where the addresses are not blocked out, or that there aren't other ways to easily get hold of someone's email address, not to mention lots of other personal data, including unlisted phone numbers for that matter, which I have been able to find, but not from messages posted to Bookshare lists. But anyone can certainly very easily read what people post here just by googling your name.

I know I am able to read any posts on this list by just googling, but I don't know if it's because I'm subscribed.
