Nice childish gratuitous insult.

I suppose you think Google is run by Al Queda and they have nothing
better to do than grab searches, and then get a supoena for your ISP to
see whose it is?

Hey, Jack! Why not post *your* SS#, here? Do you thing Al Queda reads
this newsgroup, etc., etc., etc?

???? Querying Google using your social security number as a key is a bit
different from posting it on USENET where anybody with Internet access can
see it and it is archived forever.

For all you know Osama Bin Laden has just gotten a much needed laugh out of
your post.
