Searching on my last name, I'm number 655. Woohoo!

How about first name? I'm number 250. There's a Keith Thompson at
number 70, but I don't think it's you.

Looks like 691.

On a search for "Keith Thompson", I'm #13.

A search for my full name turns up nothing (I don't think I've ever
posted my middle name anywhere). Not that it's a big secret or
anything, I just don't use it much.


Just checked my last name and I'm number 6, behind rare book dealer
Bernard J, two hits for Kentucky lawyer Richard Shapero, artist Hanna
Shapero, and her father, composer Harold Shapero. I've actually heard of
all of them - the first two are the ones who beat me to www.shapero.com
and www.shapero.net for domain names. Of course Shapero spelled with an
e is fairly rare. On a search for Kay Shapero I'm right up there at the
top.

My word - just checked Kathryn E. Shapero and there's actually a
reference in "Greycrown's gaming stuff". Apparently an article I wrote
for Different Worlds way back in the Old Stone Age is actually available
on line. Given that the only thing I ever sold was First North American
Serial Rights (NOT work for hire!) to DW, this is interesting... Guess
I get to contact the poster (and probably just give them formal
permission, but they do need to be more careful than that.)

Holy guacamole - there's an author out there with my full maiden name
spelled the same way "Kathryn Elizabeth Jones". Amazing the things you
find on google.

OK, no hits on "Kathryn Elizabeth Jones Shapero", anyway. :)
