A whole new can of worms in the search engine wars. What's next? The
Yahoo kidnappings? MSN Drivebys?

your shop.
When I was in the computer centre back in the 90s, it didn't matter
whether they were BNP, the Salvation Army or a bunch of kids... if
they hung round the doorway, people got discouraged from coming in.
