I attended a large Midwestern university, and it's entirely possible you could poll 500 people and not find a classmate who remembers me

I agree with you....but (and you knew that 'but' was coming)

Let's just say that you did something famous...or infamous (like get elected president). When that happens, people self-poll. "Hey! I know that guy! "ThinkfreeorDie" used to hang out at the college bowl-a-rama on alternate Saturday nights when I was a freshman and......"

So, while I agree with you that 500 randomly polled people might not know BO, I find it strange that nobody is admitting to it on their own. Especially in this age of a 24/7 hey-look-at-me newscycle, when no story is too trivial to get 15 minutes of fame.
