All,

 This also gives me pause if not considerable and reasonable concern
given Vint's ICANNBoD position.

"Google has inadvertently given online attackers a new tool. The
company's new source-code search engine, unveiled Thursday as
a tool to help simplify life for developers, can also be misused to
search for software bugs, password information and even proprietary
code that shouldn't have been posted to the Internet, security experts
said Friday. "

Regards and regrets,
