There are of course many "sub nets" set up and managed independantly and well away from anything google etc have a hope of searching.


an interesting point was made on FB the other day that despite the Daily Wail being a major proponent of this law their own website would have fallen foul of the very rule they are looking to implement!!!

Thank you for that info Ian..it is appreciated.
