This year's vanity googling is much tidier than the last time I tried it--some "good ol' boys" were talking trash about my Night-Blooming Flowers series on a genealogy website's forum. this time around, google seems to have collected my social networking and old Ravenloft Geekery into three neat pages.

A little while back, Google removed most of the usenet posts from the main search and put them into Google Groups (there are still some usenet posts that show up in the main search, because they're echoed on web pages). Before they did that, a search on my name turned up hundreds of thousands of hits (not just my posts, but anyone quoting from or replying to my posts).
