Anyway, in an effort to be constructive, here's a new poll, triggered by a recent converation with a friend. (This may be a repeat of an older one, but I don't remember.)
Have you ever been tracked down -- presumably by Google -- by someone you lost contact with eons ago? And have you ever Googled an old friend/lover/spouse/crush to contact them (or spy on them, you stalker you)?
Not Bob's answers: About six months ago, I got a call from a friend from my high school days. Not sure if he Googled me or not. He left Podunkville, but I'm still here, and listed in the phone book, so I ain't that hard to find.
As for part 2, I enter the names of all sorts of people (friends, relatives, opposing counsel with goofy names, etc.) into Google all the time while on a boring conference call. So far I have resisted the urge to hire a private detective to take pictures of all of my past loves and crushes. I did send someone an email via the classmates.com service once, as I think I discussed here or at Infirmation. But I didn't go out and get a real email address for her (classmates.com acts as the middleman) or phone number or anything like that. The email via the intermediary was stalker-ish enough.

1) yes. this hott ie waiter I met while dining at Greens in SF in the early nineties emailed me out of the blue a year or so ago. When I met him, I was on my way to the bathroom, and he in all his drop dead hotness, followed me to the bano and asked me to coffee. I was about to leave for the airport and told him I couldnt but if he was ever in NYC to look me up. He said he was moving to Europe so our paths wouldnt cross. When he tracked me down (and I only have like one or two hits on google) he said he found my business card that I gave him and said that after modeling in the Czech republic for a bumch of years, he came back to NYC to model and act and write and remembered I said if he was ever in NYC. We met for a beverage at Michael Jordans in GCT and he was still smokin but became like Tim Robbins radical and totally despised anyone who made any money which is really annoying. C'est la vie.
2) I look people up on google when I am at work and there are boring polls going on on the board and I am desperate for some entertainment, And I will admit to Lexusing some guy I slept with to determine if he owned his property with say, a wife, bc I suspected after the three weeks we were seeing eachother that he might be married. lexus was not helpful. I have also lexused an ex to dtermine if he got a marriage license, just bc I wante to know how things turned out for him. More like getting to the end of a novel than stalking, you know? ANyway, he hadnt.
