You have to be a little careful with these Google counts. If you do a
search on "Hal Finney" you will find a couple of hits on the first page
about some 1930s baseball player. I suspect there's only one Max More on
the net, but Anders Sandberg seems to be a name shared by at least a few
other people.
I doubt that our Anders is also the professional hockey player shown at
http://www2.corren.se/sidor/tidningen/9811/19/Sport_o_Fritid/ISHOCKEY2.HTM,
or is the L. Anders Sandberg who is the author of the book "Sustainability,
The Challenge" at http://www.umu.se/cerum/publikationer/info/publ_nsb1_98.html,
or is the president of the Stokholm Rotary Club, http://www.cm.se/rotary/Styrelse.htm.
(Or maybe he is!)
I think most of the hits are for the "real" Anders but a certain
percentage are for imposters. Likewise for other people, depending
on how common their name is, as with me and that baseball player.
