If you seriously want to change your user name, then email me at john@usg-online.com and let me know what you'd like to change it to.

This is a public forum and Google knows everything! ;-) Even pages that don't exist anymore are stored on http://www.archive.org/web/web.php

Seems to me that changing your name would only be a temporary solution. Wouldn't the problem return after you have made a few postings with your new name?

Google is just like any other web user. If a page is visible to non-members then it's visible to Google. If you want to stop being googled by Google, I think the only way that could happen is for the message boards to be available ONLY to registered members - or to those with a certain subscription level.
