I used to be a B but I'm easily irritated at this point and have edged into the A category. I forget who said "I am not your user-generated content" but I'd like to add "I am not your online [insert subject/product here] research sample" as a rider.

I wouldn't mind if my access-listers could search my entire journal, though.

Raw anecdata: a Google search of "hegemony theater" yields 310 results; the top ones point to an entry on a Star Wars wiki; many others are junk results; and a stray two or three link to comments to my posts.

I'm basically a C, but that's really about "because it would be convenient for me if everyone were a C" plus "my LJ's been Google-searchable from the outset with null impact either pro or con as far as I can see." Though I occasionally wonder if I'd be making more personal/biographical posts had I approached LJ differently.

Oh my god that's AWESOME.
The Hegemony theater was the campaign by the New Republic against the Ciutric Hegemony of Prince-Admiral Delak Krennel in 9 ABY, just after the defeat of Thrawn.


Heeeee! I feel so pedestrian for having stolen my version from Bruce Schneier via his coinage of "security theatre," yawn.

>>Though I occasionally wonder if I'd be making more personal/biographical posts had I approached LJ differently.

I maybe? probably? have a false sense of security about this. My RL and OL circles overlap almost nowhere and I'm pretty careful to shield my pseud from professional contacts especially. Advertisers and prospective employers excluded, I sort of have a why-would-anyone-care attitude for most of what I post. Anyway, results like your Google search are exactly what I'm looking for.
