Privacy on the Hide?

This post is for members on here as well as possibly the moderators. I did a search on a new website that I heard of and found numerous pics and links to for sale ads here on the hide. Being concerned about my privacy, I was a little worried when pictures and links to gun sales that I had on here popped up. Its kind of crazy how much you can find out about someone on the web. My guess is that The Hide can control who has access to my user info or their website? You can block your info on the site though. If any of you are interested the site is Spokeo.com and where you can block others from info about you is here http://www.spokeo.com/privacy
I believe that by using my email address openly in the posts is how they got my info. Thanks.

Whatever, it is a public board, if you list a public email address it is visible.

Plenty of sites search this one... if you want private log off the internet.
