yep we are, funny anecdote:
One older guy I went to school with made a posting over 15 years ago on some small usenet group about doing LSD.. its now one of the top 10 results for his name on google.
He would have never thought back then that anything he writes on that small forum would every be accessible and searchable by the general public.
Its not fair. Google should really anonymize most usenet postings done > 10 years ago.

I'd be surprised if any sane person held it against him, but I know that there was a Canadian psychologist who was turned away at the US border because he wrote an essay about using LSD for research purposes, four decades ago, when it was legal.
