Obsessed with search engines, databases, and online information collections forever. Writing books & such since 1996 (OFFICIAL NETSCAPE GUIDE TO INTERNET RESEARCH, GOOGLE HACKS, INFORMATION TRAPPING, WEB SEARCH GARAGE, etc) and ResearchBuzz since 1998.

Autistic and too tired to hide it. (My special interest? Everything, only organized.)

Snarks (as opposed to jokes), doom, and reply guys are blocked without warning.
