Your comments make sense. I am not unhappy that the site blocks search engines. I haven't spent a lot of time yet mastering Super Search, so I know I could have found more posts by using that more expertly.

Obviously, it makes sense that having a search engine friendly site will increase the exposure of this site specifically and Perl generally. So it would be good to have this project done, as you say.

I totally agree with the desire to avoid the problems with search engines that you mention. Obviously, folks use the Chatterbox with the expectation that they can chat freely without having their conversations recorded.

Thanks to you and the rest of the site maintainers for your efforts.
