Oddly enough, after posting that I went and searched on the word "background"
which just happened to appear in the version of my .sig that was attached to 
that post, and lo and behold I got a bunch of articles that actually had
something to do with backgrounds.  If articles with my .sig were included,
they were toward the bottom of the (relevance-weighted) search.
