On searching for 'father'…

Someone’s been searching for ‘father’ on plasticbag.org using the Atomz powered search box (down the bottom of the page). Now normally this wouldn’t be an issue, but of course since I haven’t seen or heard of my father since I was about four or five – and since he has almost the same name as me – and more to the point since if you search for Tom Coates on Google you end up this as the first search result, I can’t help being slightly weirded out. I don’t really know what you do in these circumstances. What if it was my father, Thomas John Coates wandering around the web. What if he’s been reading this site for months and is too embarrassed to come forward. It’s all very strange…
