    Do you think it takes anyone with any semblance of IT knowledge more than a few minutes to dox someone online? Much less someone using gmail? Much less a 67 year old whose email was probably John.Smith.Hometownname?

      And that is called hunting. Using specialized skills and tools to locate and approach a target in its home environment is hunting.

      You say you aren’t apologizing for DHS here, but you are fighting really hard against a VERY common use of the word hunt because it makes DHS look bad.
