I'd like you to go back to the Hornbeck/Ownby deletion discussion and re-read my lengthy comments there.>>
-------------------------------------- Just as an example. I might be "notable" if you simply count the number of times and places where you can find me mouthing off about something :)
But as far as I know, one hundred and twenty five newspapers across the country and in France, England, Canada and Guam didn't carry stories about me. I wasn't on Oprah, I didn't have a foundation named for me, and I didn't write a book about myself.
I'm sure you can see there's quite a bit of difference in the casual ability to "find out" about someone like You or I by pouring over public records, and the determined effort of those people like Barbara Bauer, Matt Sanchez, Shawn Hornbeck to make their name stand out in bright lights.
If you check the Shawn Hornbeck Foundation page you will find, that they are still active, at least as of a month ago. Still visiting various schools or what-have-you under their own name. Now any casual reader might say.... Well... Who IS Shawn Hornbeck.
We should be answering that question, instead of turning out the lights. That's my position. It applies to all questions of that sort, even if the subject hates the result.
