When posting in a forum, Occasionally in googleing, I come across my own post reference,

in the form of an internet document referring to the terms in the post that I entered in that

forum, . . Is there a simple explanation as to how that transpires ?

Are you asking how your posts come up in search engine results?

When you use google or any other search engine, it looks through it's archived websites for that. Usually it will look for it in the title, then in the actual content. Since the forums "text layout" include a persons' username, that is the only reason why you can find yourself even if you didn't type your own name out in the search.

Who said I couldn't have everything?

XD, Animal better hope that doesn't stick, or he'll never be taken seriously as a moderator again.
