Search engines are your friends. For example, you can learn all sorts of things about people just from the number of times certain words show up in their posts. For example, if you picked an FFL poster at random, with the idea in mind to determine what they were most focused on or obsessed with, searching for various words, terms, and names in their posts might reveal a lot. Searching for terms you might associate with a TM- oriented forum, you could find that such a person mentioned "meditation" in 1400 posts, "enlightenment" in 1010 posts, "world peace" in 154 posts, and "compassion" in 262 posts. So now if this same randomly-picked person had used, in that same period of time, the words "Curtis" in 2271 posts, "Vaj" in 2734 posts, "Sal" in 1847 posts, and "Barry" in 4991 posts...uh...do you think you could draw any inferences as to what this person might be most focused on or obsessed with?
