When I used to do hardware reviews for a geek website I used to get about three pages of hits for myself, but now I only feature about halfway down page three.


However, another SNer gets my website if he does "I'm felling lucky" with his name. That should start some rumours...

Top 5 ( of 16 results ) are all me. The first one if my entry on the Boeing website.

Then apparently I am a partner in a law firm in New Jersey, and I also own several night clubs in NYC.

I know **** all which is why I suggested he seeks professional advice. Maybe if you were to try reading what was written instead of jumping in with both feet you might have realised this?

Posting in a slightly more caring manner may have avoided this apparent confusion.

As some have managed to fathom out, the site is there for my daughter. Registering my name gets me to the top of the search engines, and makes a far better opportunity in making contact with my daughter.

I wont go into the rest of the story as its quite long winded and frankly non of anyone's business

I do indeed need professional help, to get in contact. With my mum having cancer, now more than ever in fact. But "professional help", the sort I need, is not cheap.


So, fingers crossed, it will pay off, and with the clock ticking...... soon !

its nothing to brag about, i used the same username for about 10 years when i first got online, the current G/F did a search a few years back for a laugh and found some dodgy posts from me on another forum (infact ****loads of forums lol).

the problem was i had been out clubbing, under the influence

could not remember any of it, but i had incoherently posted that i had got off with my mates wife, and this was 2 weeks after i had got with the lass


i don't even have any mates with wives, who actually used to go clubbing, i have no idea what the **** its all about, which made it worse as i could not explain it, and made it look like i was "clamped up"

i used to hammer the illegal stuff quite extreme when i was a younger chap, crazy times indeed, half of the time i probably did not have a clue what was going on

how would you explain it to her?

"i did not do it"

"its on a message board and its your name"

"you are a liar"

"ok i will show you on the forum"




for the past 6/7 years i have used a new username on every new forum i join and also changed my group of mates for some nice shiney new ones, who do not dabble with the dark arts
