I think you would be hardpressed to find a copy of this message with a
simple google search.

hey, a lot of synchronet bbses have their web interface showing msg subs to the public.

so it would be pretty easy to find our msgs in a simple google search. you might even see 20 or so different bbses showing the same results.

Well.. I am not going to help feed the google machine by searching for
any potentials. ;)

However, from the few searches that I have done, the results are not 1st-
page worthy. The results might be further down the list, which means that the web-exposed echos are probably obscured enough to be "not
interesting".

A localized (albiet webbased) search that ipingthereforeiam uses is pretty good and can be handy. It is almost too bad that more othernets are not represented there.

I wouldn't mind finding some of the messages I wrote pre-2000! I think I sounded very intelligent back then. LOL

I have only been able to find a handful of messages that I wrote in the waffle newsgroup, for example. I was very chatty in there in the 90's. Maybe they *are* expiring those collections.

They say nothing goes away online. I imagine archives of old messages could probably be found somewhere.
