---- AOL "Angry & Upset" After Releasing Search Data

Another aspect which will really hit AOL in the subsequent law suit:-

Anyone who's website has had hits recorded in this file can cross-reference them to find the real user's IP, and if it's a membership site - their user information.

e.g. Brett could find out exactly who user X is, and see their records. I can see lots of hits to webmasterworld.com in the files - and I bet many of them are from members.

I do not believe Brett would do such a thing, but not everyone is as ethical as Brett.
Apologies for the double post - missed the edit window :(
