Somehow I knew that Google's complimentary massages would never satisfy the
employees sufficiently.
A similar thread, which discusses the same story, has already begun in
alt.web.webmaster. That the only reason why I chose to bother with a

Google have become a primary target for 2 things:

* Rumours (e.g. Goobuntu goes public, Google PC, Google buys Napster, Google
buys (G)Opera)
