Did you know that searching Yahoo for 'hotels in antarctica' comes up with 1,260,000 web pages? 'Macgirvin' comes up with 575. Now let's try google. 826,000 matches for hotels in antarctica, and 1580 for macgirvin. MSN finds 576,579 of the cold hotels and 1817 macgirvin's. Interestingly enough, both msn and yahoo list macgirvin.com as the first entry for that search. On google the macgirvin domain doesn't even rate the first page, though it comes up with some emails I wrote at Netscape and finds Maxwell Silverthorn at Garageband.com.

As a general rule of thumb, never trust anybody who's been in therapy
for more than 15 percent of their life span. The words "I am sorry" and "I
am wrong" will have totally disappeared from their vocabulary. They will stab
you, shoot you, break things in your apartment, say horrible things to your
friends and family, and then justify this abhorrent behavior by saying:
"Sure, I put your dog in the microwave. But I feel *better* for doing it."
