I usually do a vanity search if I’m on real late at night. But, I haven’t done one in about a month or so.

Honest! I wasn’t doing a vanity search! I was Browsing, I tell you, Browsing … I thought it was about pornographic accounting! I tell you, It wasn’t a vanity search, it was an up-standing all-american Porn search! … no, really, I Was browsing … but now that you’ve brought the vanity search thought to mind…  
Nice to have made the list, though … I’d like to thank Allll the little people who made this possible …  
meanwhile, might as well see if  
**Maureen, Jeanster, Baker, FairyDust, LookitMe, Kid Czarcasm, lorene, and Salem** do vanity searches?!?!?!

I feel deceived and cheated by this thread.

It reminds me of that phonecall where they say:

“Mr. Scylla you have just one a vacation to Bermuda…”  
but all they really want to do is sell me insurance.

You’re close - we want to discuss accounting treatment for discontinued operations (as dictated by FASB statement #144), and how the financial statements must be restated to reflect those losses, after income from continuing operations and income taxes…

Hey there, **Scylla**!

You know what’s really sad? I saw the thread title itself and actually thought that I might have something to say about FAS.

But thanks to **Frannie** for thinking of me anyway. (You’re damn right that I searched for myself when I saw what it was about!)

I don’t think that I have much chance of coming up with someone new at this point. Anybody done **Mangetout** ’s perennial favorite yet?

Oh, boy, 2 mentions, one from **lel** and one from **Giraffe** , who seems to have misspelled my name. Does it still count? I accept my party’s nomination, and only hope that being a resident of PA doesn’t preclude me from being an effective Governor of California. Anyway…

I linked into this thread from [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=207083) as well, and am not sure I understand it. Anyway, I went through the thread looking for my name. I guess, technically, that’s a vanity search, huh?

BTW, **lianaf** , for your list, Casey505 is the prehensile version of Casey1505, I guess…

Huh. All right, you got me. I’ll admit, though, that I was _really_ confused when a thread about accounting showed up in my vanity searches.

And just to keep playing, I haven’t seen **HerMajestyLorna** around here in a while.

( **Jaade** , the list you cited was of the people who hadn’t come to the thread yet… not the one of people who HAD… unless that sounds wrong…)

Perhaps it’s the “detail-oriented lunatic freak” in me (as **Spoz** likes to call it) coming out, but why is **Akatsukami** ’s name on both lists? Yes, he’s viewed the thread… but he hasn’t responded. (if he had responded, I guess that counts as a visit) I think he belongs in the list of people who HAVEN’T come out to the party yet.

Oh, and you spelled **washte** ’s name wrong, Not sure she’ll come if you do that, y’know. 😉

Anyhow, here are some more names:

**ResIpsaLoquitor  
joey\_hemlock  
miamouse  
Fred  
LeeJam**
