Is he using my name somewhere as a search term? Should I care? Given my first name is the last name of a famous porn queen, I don’t subscribe to Google Alerts :)

I've told them several times about it and they apologize and tell me they will look into it and they still don't appear..........dang this whole on-line rep thing is not easy!

I recently found out that I had been reported as spam to Askimet, thus my blog comments were not showing up. I have to thank the Bloodhound Boss for dropping me a polite email to let me know that I needed to ask Askimet to whitlelist me, as my comments are obviously not spam. I have to wonder if someone who doesn't like me in the blogosphere reported me to Askimet. I will never know, though. I would say to make sure that your blog comments are showing up.
