    Funny you should mention that. My employer does it for us now and then, mainly to see what kind of press we're getting from mainstream media and also some discussion boards related to what we do. Nuthin' on me personally there, but there's some semi-bigiwig involved with the Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce with my name as well as someone who is in Anniston, Alabama, working for Tyson Foods.

    OTOH, as I've mentioned here recently, if you google your screen name here there's all sorts of things that come up.

    Yeah - like an actual pic of me - my face! 'DLDUG' posted a shot of me from my visit in may `05 in the "Live" room, and it got a return on google.

    I feel so ... vulnerable!

    Yes, gadzuux. I googled your screename prior to going to that meet in October to see if there were any images out there. That picture came up.

    However, it is a really, really bad picture. The photographer should never have put it up. That umbrella thing in the background made you look like you were wearing a pointed hat and had a pointy ear.

    Upon entering the Cove Bar, I couldn't decide whether to look for a Keebler Elf or Jon Lovitz.

    Thank god you turned out to be a nice lookin' fella and nothing like that photo.

    For example. If you google "gadzuux" you get 2,030 entries. A quick glance says many of them are LP.

    So, find a "common" word and use the "-" sign in your search.

    For example, in the google search field enter: gadzuux -laughingplace.com

    The above will then return only 115 entries and you'll see that any links with "laughingplace.com" in them are not included.
