Bullshit.  You have no evidence for that.

Yes, I did, contrary to your unfounded assertion that I didn't.  Not
that it's necessary - to date, search engines to not let the general
public search for other individual's search patterns.  But you knew
that already, of course, since you have used search engines.

What I don't understand is your assumption that I didn't check.  I can
understand a question, but not "You're applying the same rational that
you criticized."  Of *course* I checked!

Sheesh!
