anyone want to debate the ethics of this
The ethics of what? Making publicly available information easy to access?

Well, I tried my name, WIlliam R. Murray and William Gates. Got nothing back. Maybe I did something wrong? I *did* get hits on Osama bin Laden and Mustafa Mohammed, but that's not exactly a startling revelation.
Why? I can look you up in the phone book. I can look you up online in numerous search engines. I can contact someone who knows you and find out more about you. I really don't understand what the problem is.As an information security person, this worries me. Both from a compliance issue (corporate) and on a personal issue.
Now, if they were publishing your bank account information, *that* would be a problem.
