As one currently navigating a nearly hopeless job market, this post really
strikes a responsive cord.

Were I a hiring manager, I would not use such a service, but I would google
on the email @ of the applicant.  If I do that with mine, usually the first
several hits are goofy comments I made on ExI-chat.  I have several other
chat groups I occasional post, but there I make sane, reasonable comments
always, because of the nature of the group.  Here I cut up a lot, refer to
old gags from a long time ago such as the sex lamas and so forth.

For some odd reason, google seems to find my greatest silliness, neeeever
finding the occasional jewels of wisdom, rather always bringing some cut-up
or goofball comment.  How can I ever get a job when managers can so easily
find out about my association with... well, you guys.  

Google on your email @, see what I mean.
