Robert, we're extremely conscious of privacy. I think the biggest fallacy is that users have privacy by obscurity, and that any technology that will call this is *evil*. Just imagine the transition from a pre-Altavista era where almost all text also was private by obscurity.

Would we give up (or just censor) the resource of Google and the other ssearch engines today because it forces me to take appropriate action on securing my text documents?

I've written up more on how we feel about privacy at http://blog.polarrose.com/2006/12/on-privacy-and-polar-rose/.
