Googling my mudcat name brings up two pages of results, but only three or four that are "me." About half the hits are to "ebay personal profile(s)" and I have NEVER created an account, provided any information, or logged in at ebay.

One of the hits is to a manufacturer/distributor who apparently intended to "quote" something I posted here as a "testimonial." While I didn't think what I said was that favorable it's only partially and ambiguously quoted, without really saying much. The site is "clickified" to provide a link, but it goes only to the mudcat front page, so anyone not familiar with the site would find what I actually said about "three days after hell freezes over."

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

Does someone not know that clicking the "name" on an individual post has always produced a list of all of the posts under that name?

(The Google search cited found "about 5,600" of the 6,749 posts found by mudcat "usersearch.")

Far too many for one person to have said anything intelligent in most of them, one supposes(?) (BG)

Fortunately/unfortunately my "real" name is so common that anything about me is hidden somewhere in the several million results that can't be displayed at Google. Even applying rather restrictive "modifiers" I've never found a Google search string that produces anything about me.
