There have been several so-called "mirror" websites that repost our stuff.
For awhile, some of us were putting "posted originally on
alt.autos.corvette" or some disclaimer banning use of our posts on any other
site.

I got tired of pasting it in.  I think the others did, too.

I googled myself once.  It seems there are many more than one "Tom in
Missouri".  I guess I need to change my name or always post a signature "I
only post on alt.autos.corvette", anything else is not me."
