Do you ever do a search of your screen name
to see if people were talking about you while you were gone?

5. Are you trying to tell me something?
And, yes, it did occur to me that I may be suffering from paranoid delusions of grandeur. :P

3. never tried that around here. but I did a google once. it came up
with a lot of good old boys, and one girl. they probably would hunt me down and string me up if they knew I was on du using their post name.

7. You can do it here with the search feature
I sometimes do my DU name on Google to see where my video links are posted and what hate site has targeted me lately.

4. Yes
A shitload comes up, mostly cause my name is made up of three commonly used words.

inscrutable Irish novels quite intimately. :D

13. Yes, but no. I do it to track down threads that I've started, or
posted in, not to see if (a totally unlikely event) someone had mentioned me.

15. Oh I thought you meant on Google
I tried that but redqueen seems to be pretty common. As for here I haven't tried it ... yet. I'm kind of afraid to. I don't want my stunning lack of popularity clearly demonstrated. :P

17. more fun to google screen name & see what freepers & wing nut bloggers
are saying about you!

My ol dad used to say ""never trust someone loved by everyone and judge your own effectiveness by who it is you piss off."

18. Your dad was very wise, indeed.
If you haven't pissed off the freepers yet, you're not trying hard enough.
