   I too have gotten Google to fix a few things.  It's a long, slow, and   
   arduous process.  It's also predicated on them wanting to fix things   
   when pointed out to them.

   I know someone that worked there and could pass messages to internal   
   teams.  Even with that, getting things done was long, slow, and and arduous.

   Probably.   
      
   I know that once you find the desired newsgroup in Google Groups' Usenet   
   interface that you can post to it.  That's where a lot of spam on Usenet   
   comes from.
