Aha!  Let me clarify!

This was not an example of a search engine finding the baronial web site. 
Rather, the event announcement was re-written and included in a features 
section of the Tribune-Review.

Thus, I don't feel that adding security to the baronial web site would be 
necessary.

That's correct.  It has been removed, and apparently a retraction will be 
published tomorrrow.

Edmundo, I agree with everything that you said about "public" vs. 
"non-public", but I don't want my address to be all over the mundane 
internet (all over the SCA is perfectly fine).  "Open to the public" is not 
the same as "advertised to the public".  Perhaps our web site should include 
a caveat that "the content herein is intended for the use of members of the 
Society for Creative Anachronism", because that isn't nasty or restrictive, 
but it might give a non-SCAdian pause before just showing up.  Maybe also 
include "for more information about the SCA and the BMDL, contact the 
Chatelaine at..."  I also liked the "may not be republished without 
contacting us" idea.
