   This never made sense to me.  Why would any corporation *want*   
   to appear incompetent or negligent?  That's a sure way to drive   
   away current and potential customers, investors, advertisers, and   
   employees.   
      
   2/22 isn't the end of Usenet.  But it may be the beginning of the   
   end of Google.
