Alan Gage famous canoeist

Looks like Alan is our local celebrity. I searched google for the forum on a device that I don't have the site bookmarked on, and Alan comes up as one of the sites sub options. We've got a regular Cliff Jacobson on our hands. Eat your heart out Charlie Wilson, there's a new kid on the block.

That may be at least partly my fault.

Background:
Google decides what parts of a site are important with an algorithm called "PageRank" It's rather complex, but the basic idea is that a page that has five different links to it is more important than one that has only two.

I've noticed that I am one of the few people that regularly uses the "@" Mentioning capability when directly addressing specific users in a wide-flung conversation. This:

- Gives the person a nice notification next time they sign in that someone was talking to or about them.
- Adds a link to that person's profile page.

​I've participated in several back-and forth conversations with Alan Gage since joining here. Suspect that this may be skewing the results somewhat...
