Reply #7: Yes, it can be a good thing for Senator Kerry.

We can use this to our advantage to promote things he's working on and viewpoints of the senator's that don't get widely broadcast. When I first started posting here, I was dissapointed that the group was pretty obscure and was not known of outside of DU. However, I soon started to feel like this was a haven and was pretty happy that all of our posts weren't out there. Going forward, with the knowledge that this stuff is searchable, changes the dynamic of this group for me. Just a bit.

This chatty stuff will never come up unless someone searches on our screen names. Mine is pretty searchable. Others are not.

What will come up is stuff where you reference certain key phrases or words in the same sentence as the senator's name. This we can use to send out positive messages about his work and also to recruit other JK survivors adrift and alone out there in cyberspace. One thing to note: "JK" is probably not going to be very searchable, whereas the senator's name is.
