Spike, I can't tell if your post is tongue in cheek or not.
What I meant to say and may not have conveyed is that
multiple people have your name or Mike's name. I think
Mike had a Comp Sci Prof. in the U.K. and you had a
Jazz Musician as alter egos. (I didn't look at this
stuff closely). As a consequence one cannot do a simple
search on your name or Mike's and turn up unique reference
counts. Even Damien, as he relayed to me off-list, is
not immune to wanna-bes... Though you make a good point
that not many people would want to be *known* as
light-bulb-joke tellers...
But even in your most prolific I don't think you have 10,000+
light-bulb-changing jokes recorded on the net...
If you want to play with it go to the Google advanced search
page and enter your name under the match exact phrase box.
Robert
