Hi all,
Have you guys seen this yet?
http://aimsearch.hybernaut.com/3.html - Search 5 Years of Instant
Messenger Logs - "In November of 2001 AOL Time Warner, responding to a subpoena from
Attorney General John Ashcroft, made available to the Justice Department a
complete archive of all private conversations held over AOL Instant
Messenger (AIM). Through the power of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), Googol was able to obtain a copy of this entire logfile, totaling over
2 terabytes of conversations previously thought to be private. This unique resource provides insight into the minds of potential anti-American terrorists,
cheating spouses, and countless computer neophytes."

It would have been funnier if the results were not "canned"
