How funny. How can I be #1? I'm 2 now. I wonder If I start playing tournaments again, maybe that'd get me on the 1 slot.

Boy, if that ain't motivation to get back in shape and win some tourneys, then I don't know what is! ;)

Yes, googling my name comes up with me as the first of several links; however, most are to my blog.

Make sure you put your name in quotes. If I put it in quotes I'm in 2 of the results. If not then there are thousands of results which I'm sure I'm in somewhere

That changes everything for me RagingBITCH, when I put my name in quotes the first hit is about me sticking w/ www.newegg.com for my purcase needs over www.outpost.com on www.resellerratings.com :D

Ditto. Though searching for my forum name brings up me and only me.
