What I happened upon...

[Sean Mannion]

There is that, but I'm more at issue with the method of how they were found, 
rather than the ensuing dialogue - 'happening upon' something (like finding 
a chance packet of cigarette moments after you thought you'd have to drag 
your ass to an all-night garage in the wee, wee hours) is anyone's luck. 
Unless, by 'happening upon' you mean actively typing the name of a famous, 
arguably rightfully reclusive author's teenage son into google (in the 
original instance, not yours, Dave). Which is creepy, voyeuristic, arguably 
an invasion of privacy, and probably covered by a state law somewhere.
