I just got an email from someone who I’d never heard of. It doesn’t look like spam, but I think it was mistakenly sent to me. So I decided to do what one always does these days — I googled him.

And nothing turned up.

This has happened a couple of times — people who generate not a single page hit on Google. But it’s pretty infrequent. So I’ve decided we need a name for these people — an entirely new category of social invisibility.

Any suggestions? Send ‘em in to me, and I’ll post them — then pick the best one.

In the meantime, here are a few possibilities:

The Unknowables
The Untouchables
The Mysterians
Off the Grid
Men/Women in Black
Ghosts in the Machine

(Or maybe this neologism already exists? If so, somebody email me and let me know!)
