Some of them yes. There are, however, a few who openly admit to me being some sort of trolll. Ian Piper it appears being one of them.

Not only that, employers do know how to use Google and those vituperative resposnes that you dashed off in the heat of the moment could cost you a job in a few years' time. I've had at least one interview where the opening remark was "we've done a search for you on the net and..."

That may well be because they've killfiled Rowland (plus all the idiot little hanger-on doodz), so your intemperate and sweary responses are now the worst language in the group that they see. So of you don't make those responses, for example by killfiling Rowland if you can't help but get drawn in to a slanging match, and get back to conversations about Apple kit and accessibility, then we'll all learn more.

Having a globally unique name is probably a Bad Thing these days. Although I've bumped into a James Vandenberg, which was pretty close.
