I thought that a page had to be reachable via a hyperlink to be indexed? The only way the search engine can hit a page is with HTTP (right?) and if it's not linked to from another page, or available in a directory listing, how is it going to be referenced?
In this article, specifically, I wonder how many people would change their stories if, all of a sudden, this article was reorganized in the database with the OS and Browser displayed in the footer of each comment (grabbed out of the HTTP headers with each request). Not that they would ever *do* that, but I think it would be interesting. Would that violate privacy? Most likely. What about for an AC?
