If someone does want to view your posting history, and can get a court order to do so, you are toast no matter what you do.

Are you a bot? Seriously, your post reads like something from a bad bot script.

IT professional here, and I have decades of experience with networking, systems, data center engineering, and storage. I can tell you with 100% certainty that Google catalogs EVERYTHING. If you touch their DNS, they have your ingress and egress points. That means they know from where you came and to where you were going.

I'm sure you know that the Internet works by routing your requests across networks to reach an endpoint, but DNS only matters on your request attempt. The nature of DNS is that it converts your alphanumeric address to an IP address to route your traffic. If you use Google's DNS, they know exactly what you typed and will store it ad infinitum. If your traffic happens to have just crossed one of their networks, which it's likely to have done, they're only going to have the calling computer name (likely a router or switch) and the destination (also likely a router or a switch) unless, of course, your destination is Google or one of the systems in their sphere of influence.

I really don't care what you say or think you might know, based on your post, you're as snowed as any other sheep. If I can traverse the wide expanse of the Internet without doing business with Google, I am going to do everything in my power to do so. They are the definition of evil, and I prefer to have no business with them. And if you think that it requires a court order to view your Internet goings on, you're delusional. I've worked for an ISP, and I can tell you that they regularly hand over access logs with little more than a phone call from a local LEO.

So sorry you read only javascript and have a problem with English, you are not alone... A LOT of so called professional IT people have a hard time playing in the sandbox with others. I was not writing for you, you seem to know it all; I was writing for the people that actually use computers to do work, not people that work on computers. We agree that Google, basically a server, catalogs a lot of information. Your contention at that they catalog everything, including personal information is baseless. Since you were a little snarky with me, I'll be a little snarky back - There is a reason you work with computers and networks and are not a senior manager, and that is you communicate poorly.
