Well, it won't stay deleted, either. If you have an unlisted phone number,
it won't get picked up from the public phone directories. But, if you've
ever been a member of a volunteer group that has a presence on the web with
the officers listed or a simple bio you did for someone or your own, the
spiders will ferret it out from those places, as a minimum!
This is just the price we pay for all the newest technology, like it or not!
