Ever tried Googling your Free Republic handle? I just did, and boy, did I find some surprises.
Interestingly, lots of my comments over the years on FR have been picked up and re-posted by bloggers (in a complimentary fashion). I'm honored.
On the other hand, I've also been quoted at Daily KOS and other unsavory cess pits, as a prime example of neanderthal Rethuglican thinking. Sweet. I suppose I should take that as a compliment, too(?)
One uber-liberal blogger who goes by the name "Field Negro", quoted me completely out of context in order to paint a picture of a self-hating black man, cowed and groveling at the knees, among a seething lair of white racists (that'd by y'all Freepers). Sick stuff.
I've also discovered that folks'll stop by your online photo collections and re-post your pics in the strangest places.
Try it sometime. You might be surprised at what you find.
I’ll bet you didn’t get a single return about your posts here. What’d you get - like 56,000,000 returns?
They are still wondering why all their women decided to stay here.
Not to mention the anti-FReeper and ex-FReeper sites that are obsessed with FR.
Think I’m gonna leave that one alone... ;-)
lol
Next time use both hands. (for the googling not the slapping.)
I found some of my posts under my handle, but nothing that anyone would want to use.
Once I searched under my real name and found a letter I had written to the New York Times a lot of years ago. The letter was typed on a typewriter back in the days before personal computers, but evidently, the Times kept it in their database.
They are obsessed:

And you're so modest about it! LOL
wow this is a pretty new handle and I got mentioned in a left wing blog about freeping online polls
I’m forced to all the time, when trying to find a thread that FR just can’t seem to remember via search.
Well, your tagline just might have something to do with that ;-)
I’ve googled mine before. I mostly get a lot of FR articles with a few other sites scattered in. I also get this one article by zotted blog pimp Mobile Vulgus. He wrote on his blog about his zot, attacking Jim and complaining about the pimp busters, mentioning several of us by name. lol. Heh heh
I ran into that too. There's some gamer kid out there using the same handle as mine. Gotta find him and slap the snot out of him .. LOL
Darn, I should have copyrighted my handle. Loads of later commercial enterprises.
I didn't even know about the site:
www.fstdt.com
Durn, I only got one reference at some weirdo blog. Everything else was posts from FreeRepublic.
Geez, man! You're doing it wrong! Try GOOGLING next time!
Yup! Lots of sites offering advice on Python programming or database software, which is sort of the point. DBRow, DBCol, and the like.
And some other people with the same handle, and other things including what you posted above.
I advise everyone to do this, to see what online profile you have.
