If you go here http://www.dogpile.com/ and do a search on your base
username and view all of the results from the various search engines,
when you get to the section returned for AltaVista you will indeed see
posts from yourself with a link pointing to 21st Century. Dogpile is
just a front end for feeding search criteria to numerous search
engines.

Here is the main URL:

Personally I find the practice a dogpile if they are going to allow
their repository to be scanned by the various search engines. This
totally goes against the spirit of the list's roots and history.
I had previously made it a practice to search for my base username
whenever I receive spam. I post anonymously to the newsgroups to
prevent spam. Up until January searching on my base username always
brought back the same results: a page from some European site which
didn't contain the character string. When the round of spam started
up in late January or February I went back and looked again and there
I was in living color on both lists. Needless to say, it torqued me
off royally to discover my new address was now being circulated,
traded, and sold by the spammers.

That will get you hits at AltaVista. Dogpile has you all over the
map. Did you ever locate the Bobby Darrin Midi? ;-)

Corporate sales?
