Subject: RE: BS: Our posts there for all the world to see
I just Googled for "Jim Dixon" and I was surprised to see how many Jim Dixons there are who aren't me. (A notable one was the hero of Kingsley Amis' novel "Lucky Jim.") It wasn't until the second page that Mudcat showed up.

Then I Googled within Mudcat ("jim dixon" site:www.mudcat.org) and was astonished to see "about 5,600" hits. Ye gods! Have I posted that much?

It raises the question of whether searching within Mudcat by using Google might be more effective, especially for recent posts, than using Mudcat's own Lyrics & Knowledge Search.

Well, I've been posting here for years now, using my real name, with no ill effects so far. But maybe some other Jim Dixon has been getting my hate mail!
