Scott: Hi David.

David Lawrence: Hi Scott how are you?

Scott: Good.

David Lawrence: How can I help you?

Scott: This is not actually storm related but what it is my mother has lost track of her elderly sister. And I went on the Internet and tried to look at the various search engines, white pages, yellow pages just if I could find anything. Some paid services popped up a course which is are there any methods of you know of search engines etc. that are available online to search for people that are not trying to hide themselves but are just have been out of touch.

David Lawrence: Well this is sort of the gray area between using the Internet and not using any of your native intelligence and also being aware of what your mother and your sister do for hobbies, do for vocation of the areas that they live in and so on.

But at the same time you can certainly learn a lot about what is available to you on the Internet as an individual about other individuals when you start to search for people on the web. And you have taken great first steps you have obviously gone to Google and you have gone to the white pages and I am sure you have gone to the *

Scott: Yes.

David Lawrence: Okay.
