Why does that surprise and amaze you?

While normally, using such a string for a search would yield results
where that information was *only* in the headers or your google posts
(that is, it would return all of your posts, and only your posts). Since
you (or someone else, but probably you) has taken to posting the headers
in the body, now that string appears in the bodies of all posts and
followups to posts that didn't edit it out. You (or someone else, but
probably you) have poisoned your own search results by posting your
header information in the bodies of posts and crossposting.

Do you remember an earlier discussion we had about this (regarding
changing subject lines of posts and how it affects the ability to
search)? Your actions have consequences, not from the 'powers that be'
but just because of the way stuff works. Usenet articles now appear on
the web thanks to gateways, in any language you like.

Instead of clicking the link, try clicking the "Translate this page"
link. See that the content has nothing to do with the web user
interface.
