Thanks for the hedzup.  Forwarded to fam members, though none are likely to do it. Well, maybe one.

4 found on my 1st pass, all benign (old antique motorhome club roster). Nuked 'em anyway.

Heh! As if G needs more info about me.

So far, the results have been benign. Almost all of them are the White Page or "Find that person" type sites.

Yeah I feel like a few tweaked and deep searches, we could probably find it all in minutes anyway.
