So, quick email to the right person at Google? Who exactly would that be and how exactly would someone running a school's website (who probably knows nothing about how search engines work let alone who Matt Cutts is) go about finding that?

And once they sent it, how seriously would G have taken that email? I mean they did just leave that information out there and it then becomes public. Right, isn't that what they say on most privacy issues? Everybody knows that when you build a webpage that a search engine will find it, right?

And exactly how long would it have taken them to get to that email after going through the probably 1000 or so they have gotten this week from other website owners who want to know why their site is either not in G or not ranking well with G.

I think we forget sometimes that we have greater knowledge (and sometimes privledge) than most people. A court order did what needed to be done quickly and efficently, getting it to the right eyes without the big company buracracy.
