I would like to thank you all for your kinds words. I am recovering slowly- due to be unstapled in 2 more days. I had to cancel my appearance on Dancing with the Stars though.
One thing, I did not fall, I tripped over a large rolled up piece of fencing we were about to put up to protect landscaping from deer over the winter. I am not quite old nor infirm enough yet to be falling
TwoTankAmin said:Yep Lock, you got me. I always get a kick out of a few things re names and google. If you search for TwoTankAmin it first gives results for the Egyptian king asking if I didn't mean that name instead. So you have to click on search instead for TTA and then you get 10,000+ hits. But the other side of the coin is if I search for my real name, I can find almost nothing at all. This is exactly as I want it to be. I tend to rely on view new posts a lot and, with my brother postiing here when I went down, that thread never showed up as new posts by the time I finally got back online.
But seaching for my own name has another motive to it. Over time Google makes changes to their algorythms. By searching my screen name I can see how these changes may be affecting things. Up until recently Google tended to improve its search capabilities. However, I see a change in this trend. it is now more about advertising than ever and finding meaningful/useful results has become harder. Fortunately, this doesn't seem to be the case for Google Scholar which gets the largest portion of my searches.
