Okay googling my tag with firefly brings up some complete stranger on the firefly.net boards. It's weird seeing me post things I'd never posted.
There appear to be two other people besides me who use the name DXMachina out there. One is very active in on-line gaming communities, Everquest and Ultima Online and such. The other is someone from St. Paul who writes stories about macrophilia. Yup, giantess porn. (Of course one of the listings for my name shows up in the bondage tape transcript over at spikesbitch.org.)

There's also a "Deus Ex Machina" on the official DCComics Board.
BTW, DXM. You still coming by on Saturday? I'm working at 4 a.m. and Thess has to be somewhere at 3, but we'll be around before that.
I don't know whether to be strangely complimented or freaked out that googling my Smith lyric turns me up as the fifth or so search result. Hi, me! (Okay, on re-searching I come up later. I don't know why that is.)
I know I've posted near VIPs way more times than that, though, so I wonder why the one came up-- it was when Tim posted about Battlestar Galactica, for goodness' sake.
Huh... there's a Theodosia, Missouri!
Shawn, I think it's the announcements that count. Someone must have submitted those, or they got linked to from Whedonesque, et al.
I think Whedonesque linked to them.
Is there any way to make them un-googlable again? (un-googleable?)
If there's a robots.txt file on the site, and Google's ignoring it, you can ask them to remove the page from their listing. You'd probably have to do it on a page-by-page basis though, which would be challenging, to say the least.
David (Knut?) why not open the old archive as an html and do a ctrl-F find for what you're looking for?
Yeah, that's a do-able suggestion, Wolfram. I was just looking for a way to do it which would validate my laziness. I tell you, us lazy people, we need a lobby.
