But, wouldn't you like for them to be FIND YOUR post about the surname BARKWILL when they search for BARKWILL?

IF someone searches for posts on the name BARKWILL, they WILL NOT FIND your post if it is shown like:

> > B.A.R.K.W.I.L.L...OH>ID>PA>CA

They WILL FIND your post if it is shown like:

> BARKWILL OH > ID > PA > CA

Your call, but if you don't want it found, why not spell it D*U~R-C/W+E|LLL$$ as that would really defeat the search engines?
