      They looked just close enough to go “He’s got the experience” and moved on.

          Are… Are you joking?

          Google wasn’t around back then.

          They would have had to use something like infoseek or aliweb

            It’s not like the web was around back then either ya doofus, what year do you think we’re talking about here?

            Back in those times the would have been at best using something like Veronica, or just trawling Usenet asking if people know him
