I was sent a note by Elvisier publishing (on the occasion of my name 
appearing in one of their volumes---to protect their privacy policy) 
about a science information website, http://www.scirus.com/, 
purporting to be free and to allow one to find things not available 
on other search engines. I typed my name in to the search window and 
found a number of SDSS papers, with my name listed first when it 
should have been last. I also found every article written by anyone 
named Donald that appeared in the New York times. And, I found, item 
no. 39, an observing proposal from July 2002 on transient sources at 
APO. It was evidently a copy of same I had sent to elt, from the 
information attached. I am sure you all have such humorous instances 
in your brains: I have not done much random web searching. This is 
definitely a low quality source of info (a comment which will no 
doubt appear on the site soon.)

I also found a number of memos by me, on the echelle, evidently from 
the APO site.
