Google Guy,

It certainly sounds wrong for someone to take Googles "secret" documents and put them where they are visible to others.

As it happens, I have found stuff that people realized too late was secret and removed from the web, in the google cache. I am sure it has happened at least ten times that someone will have information that they decided to hide, and are either unaware of the google cache, or don't know what to do about it, and I will then get the info that I need.

It seems that there is at least a bit of "wringing of hands" here that is undeserved until Google gets rid of the cache. (Of course, I would hate to see it go.)

No disrespect intended, it just seems like very similar things, with similar arguments for and against. (Most websites do say copyright on them.)
