I know most of us have done an internet search for our own names at some point. I've always been pleased with the lack of personal information that appears about me. Fortunately, the same still holds true in terms of personal data, but I just had an interesting experience...
I did a Google search for [ame="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=bench+capper&btnG=Google+Search&aq=f&oq="]bench capper[/ame] so that I could find a picture or link to reference in a thread here. The first hit was [ame="https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/diy-bench-capper-26795/"]DIY Bench Capper[/ame] - my own thread!
Just for grins, I searched, [ame="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=conical+fermenter&btnG=Search"]conical fermenter[/ame] and [ame="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=steam+mashing&btnG=Search"]steam mashing[/ame]. I'm in the top two Google results for both! Unfortunately, a Wikipedia entry is the top result for [ame="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=apfelwein&btnG=Google+Search&aq=f&oq="]apfelwein[/ame], with EdWort's thread a not so distant second.
Anyway, here's a toast to the resounding success of HomeBrewTalk. Thanks to everyone for making it a great resource for a rewarding hobby. Prost!
