... the Google search box below, then click the 'Google Search' button. (Alternatively, you could type the phrase "posted by cass" *including* the double quotes).
You can narrow the search by using one or more keywords - posted.by.cass effexor - or phrases:
'posted.by.cass posted.by.dr.bob' finds every post in which you have replied to a post by Dr. Bob or vice versa. The latter example also demonstrates that this is merely a good enough approximation to an author search: it finds not only your posts but all replies to them.
If you're looking for posts before mid-2002, the Psycho-Babble-Search link at the bottom of every page is better than Google, which no longer indexes every post. Click on that link, scroll down the search page to "Options and Examples", and you'll see a proper author search (poster:cass) and much more.
I hope this helps you find whatever you're looking for :)
