Am I the only one not seeing a problem here?

Why would anyone get angry at Google for it's spider (which is most excellent) finding private information? Shouldn't they be upset with the company/website that left their information where someone else could find it? It doesn't matter how difficult it is to get, it should be impossible.

However, in the age of greed and stupidity, it comes as no surprise to me that it's happening.

I've maintained a Web site for over 8 years which has about 700 pages. About 200 of those pages are "private" and the URL's to those pages are only given to certain people. There are no links to those pages on any of the "open" pages. I check Google and a couple other search engines on a regular basis -- none has discovered those "private" pages.
If you understand how the Web works, it's no big deal to keep certain pages "private". But then again, I'd never put anything on any Web page that I would never want revealed to the world. Nothing is truly "private" on the Internet.
I don't see a problem here either!
