database?

I remember several months (or more) ago, someone was looking for a person on LJ. Someone else replied with a search from some crazy database that had all kinds of addresses and info. I looked myself up at the time and was shocked at how easy it was to find all my previous addresses. Does anyone remember this, and can you point me to that database again?

Thanks.

Yup, it's surprising how much information is publicly available, perfectly legally.

Why surprising? I'm actually surprised that more information isn't available.

I think a lot of people don't realize how easy it is to find out all kinds of stuff about them online. I know that in other countries, it's nowhere near as easy.
