Yes, I also found *that* one, but (AFAICT, I don't understand Polish)
that was somebody *quoting* you, not one of your *own* postings. Did you
find one of your own postings? If so, how?

Oops, you are correct. I didn't look close enough.

>Did you find one of your own postings? If so, how?


That was the only one I found. I searched again and this appears to be
the only "google" reference in existence?

I DID find out that springfieldbb.com DOES exist. However, it's not
Springfield's Broadband provider. It's Springfields Bed and Breakfast.

LOL ;-D

When I was young and naive (in contrast to old and naive), I regularly
posted to USENET from work, with my real name in the sig, and using my
work email address. Big mistake.

Anywho, years later I was researching a subject and found a "useful"
thread from ~10 years back. Yea, I ran across my old post from 10 years
ago.

Sure, this shouldn't be surprising, but it was kind of eerie.

I find it's best to use pseudonyms and change periodically.

Maybe Bart?
