My namesakes are at it again!
Michael Warner
Someone here mentioned recently that google has a usenet search
division, so of course I had to try it by typing my name in...
Guess what? There's a Michael Warner who's published a book arguing
against same-sex marriage. But he's not just another conservative, far
from it - his argument is that marriage itself is a Bad Thing, and
that gay folks shouldn't even want it!
Have any of you cheerful people heard of this guy?
Vik
We have now!

Ernest Fairchild
Actually, I typed "Ernest Fairchild" in a google search a few days, for
shits and grins, and was amazed. You won't be truly freaked out until you
see what your name has been up to while you're asleep.
Have a great day!

04/89 (8.) Jeff Rhodes, another person who claimed to have information
about the Ives-Henry murders, was shot in the head. His burned body was
found in the city dump, with his hands, feet, and head partially
severed.

The only other usenet Michael Warner is an SF fan and a college
student. I can live with that :-)

So do I with my name. But there only seems to be a 23 year old athlete
with my name. And he had only two hits. All other 148 were for me.

i've heard the argument, but not the name. there's a radical element in
the gay community that sometimes comes up with far stranger things than
this :)

Kind of fascinating to see what I get up to when I'm not paying

FWIW: All the guys I found seem to have descended from English roots. My
little clan is basically German, where the family name was Low??????????
or something! Great Grandpa got tired of trying to teach Americans to
pronounce it, so he just lopped it off.
Ineffectively to simplify the pronunciation, _and_ it abandoned uniquely
as well! <sigh>

My name brings up a lot of Doctor Who web sites. Seems that many people

updated their sites yet. Other hits includes articles about my Dad who
used to ice race. As in racing cars on frozen lakes and ponds. But not
a lot of leather sites...

the breckenridge family is an old prestigious one. there have
been lots of elected officials, including a governor. i'm
thinking that there may be more than one John Breckenridge in
that family.
Ernest Fairchild
that seems to be very popular (judging by the number of websites about it)
where one of the characters is named Ernest Fairchild. He's a zombie who
after dying and coming back to life goes by "Evil Ernie." Oy. I'm still
trying to figure out if the game was created by someone with a grudge
against me <g>.
Have a great day!

not, sue them for everything they've got :-)

I suppose it _could_ be, but family legend has it in excess
of 8 characters ... 8 - 15 being the common range ... ;-)

there are many, many variations of "Loewe" with one suffix or another. From
your current name, I would suspect it has something to do with Loewe. I don't
know what path your ancestors used to get to the U.S., but the Ellis Island
Foundation has a pretty nice site for getting info on the folks that came
through Ellis Island.

I don't either! I know there was at least one generation in Nebraska before they

I didn't actually withdraw from the DW scene. I just stepped down from
being the Knights' membership officer. Now I'm just a contributing
writer for the newsletter. And even then, just for my fictional column
"Memoirs of a Time Lord (sort of)" And strangely enough the name of my
recent story in the newsletter is "Leather Gods of Phobos."

Forget them all. Soccer is a joke, and its supporters are idiots.

and World championships. We win, we act like loonies. We loose, we blame
everybody but ourselves or our incompetent team, and go on a destructive
