[GPSCC-chat] Search Engines

[Drew]

Hey Spencer,

I didn't say to use Gibiru or install anything I said read the 
discussion they have there.  Neither of those things you installed did I 
recommend.

I recommend DuckDuckGo.com or IxQuick.com for search engines. I also 
recommend caution when installing things.

Greenvolution is NOW!
